The Greenwich Apartments is 1986 Australian crime novel by Peter Corris.[1]
It was the sixth novel, and eighth book, featuring the author's continuing character Cliff Hardy.[2]
Synopsis
Hardy is called in to investigate the murder of a young film-maker whose body was found near the Greenwich Apartments in Sydney's King's Cross.
Critical reception
Reviewing the novel in The Age newspaper critic Peter Pierce commented that "Corris's remarkable sensitivity to urban and suburban locations in Sydney is just not a matter of accurate and evocative description, but a responsiveness towards human uses and misuses of place." Pierce went on to note that, as a result, the author "finds himself relating the same kind of story in each Hardy novel. One consequence of that is careless plotting in detail."[3]
In a brief note in The Sydney Morning Herald a reviewer stated that "Corris's strength continues to be his exploration of Sydney's floating world, and his evocative urban backdrops."[4]
