You don't have to know what a didgeridoo is to understand this book, but I just happened to. There was a band that played at the Scottish music festival that included the bagpipes and a didgeridoo. It is an Australian horn about 4 feet long that extends in front of its seated player and rests on the ground. It has a very deep voice and is loud...one of very few instruments that can hold its own against bagpipes. That band had a great sound and I've not found anything like it anywhere else.
I enjoyed this short mystery because of its interesting protagonist, Jamie Quinn, who I liked immediately as well as other fun characters, the urgency of solving it, the setting that I'm familiar with, and the roadblock to solving it in the form of a young man on the "spectrum" with Asperger's disease.
I have now barely started The Operator by Kim Harrison which has immediately puzzled me. It says it is the second in the series and when I read Drafter it said it was the first in the series, but the three books are listed in a different order in front of the book. So, huh?
