Nice Try Summary

Nice Try by Shane Maloney

When Murray Whelan, lovelorn political minder, and part-time fitness fanatic, is recruited to massage Australia's bid for the Olympics, he has no idea how tough the going will get. Not even the sight of the gorgeous Holly Deloite in her taut blue leotard at the City Club can stop him diving head first into trouble. And, when the death of the young Aboriginal athlete Darcy Anderson proves that murder is a contact sport, Murray is soon breaking all the rules.

Nice Try Reviews

An engaging read, with our hero displaying an all-too human mix of brains and stupidity. Peppered throughout with deft and amusing one-liners. * * Big Issue * *
Wickedly sharp. * * Sunday Telegraph * *
Shane Maloney writes like an angel, always in control of his plot and pace. Not that many readers will notice this: they'll be too busy laughing. -- Ian Rankin
As hilarious as it is immensely satisfying. I can't think of anyone, from fans of Robert Barrett through to Elmore Leonard, not enjoying this book. * * Herald Sun * *
