This mystery, set in Australia in the 1930s, follows a wealthy painter and his friends as they try to solve the mystery of an acquaintance's death while managing relationships, creative work, and a charity car race. It's an interesting enough snapshot of the time period and a decent mystery, but it doesn't really make me want to read the other books in the series.

"Give the Devil His Due" is a mystery set in 1934 in Australia. This is the seventh novel in a series. You don't have to read the previous books in order to follow this one. Besides the mystery, the story involved the dangers of a romance gone wrong and of car racing. Rowley ended up in quite bad shape between all three storylines. The mystery was a clue-based. Rowley and his friends asked questions and followed up on clues because the detective on the case felt that one of Rowley's friends was the murderer. Interesting historical details were woven into the the story. The main characters were interesting, engaging people. There was a fair amount of bad language. There were no sex scenes. Overall, I'd recommend this interesting novel.

This book is one of a series, set in Australia between the wars, it is interesting as it brings to mind the political atmosphere of the era which is rarely written about in books of this period.
A great adventure book all round, with a mystery thrown in, the ending was interesting. Easy to read, with plenty to hold the interest of the reader and well told.

Give the Devil His Due is a good historical mystery. It is well written and has great characters. The storyline is interesting and entertaining.

Another great addition to the series! Rowland Sinclair and crew are always charming, and always worth a read

Sulari Gentill has imagined the quirkiest of households and a most eccentric cast of characters which appealed to me from start to finish.

I was totally smitten with the rich and generous Mr. Sinclair and his very diverse household. The author is able to describe Mr. Sinclair's art in such vivid terms that I really felt an appreciation for the character's talent and imagination. That portion of the book was very appealing to me.

And the villains were well executed too---what pulled me back a bit from enjoying the book was that a few aspects of the book got repetitious. The household scenes were fun, but started to be too familiar and the descriptions of the charity auto race seemed endless to me. Despite this criticism, I enjoyed the book and will be anxious to meet Roland Sinclair, his friends, and family on another adventure.

NetGalley provided me a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.

"Give the Devil His Due" is another fun adventure of Rowland and his bohemian friends. Few distinctive plots are weaved together in this installment- Rowland's charity car racing, the death of a racer, Rowland is being shot, Milton's complication of a death of a reporter, Edna's abduction, and the fatal car crash of Rowland... Yes, there are quite a number of things happening here but all are tied together nicely.

I really like how Sulari Gentill always ties real-life people into her novels flawlessly. This book has minimal political elements which lightens up the overall heavy ambiance the series that has evolved so far. "Give the Devil his Due" is a wonderful historical novel, and this particular installment does not disappoint. A definite good read. 4 stars.
