Australian and funny. Not a combination I often find, which is a shame, because I love to cry when laughing so hard!Tim Tams and Myer references finally made me feel at home in a book, so thanks JD.Grabbing dog balls to stop the dog from its wild abandon on her new boss, in front of her old boss, was probably my highlight, even though it meant I had mascara running down my face!Tess is a small town aussie cop, surrounded by morons, that hate her, but happen to pretty much own the town. She can't take them on herself, but with the help of the new senior sarge, maybe she will finally succeed.I've read reviews about how some people didn't understand the humour, and didn't appreciate the language used. It's Aussie humour, so being a native, I understood it, and loved it! We also tend to swear a bit, so no offence should be taken.I've read other books by JD, mainly Heller, so if you're offended by the swearing here, Heller isn't so full on in that, so maybe read that book instead. But Blood Ties (my first thought was Vampire, and I cringed) is funny, gut-grabbingy so, and worth the time to read.
