Matrimonial Causes is 1993 Australian novel by Peter Corris featuring private detective Cliff Hardy. It was the 17th book in the series.[1] It explores Hardy's first case.[2][3]
The Canberra Times wrote "The private-eye novels of Corris are shorter than those of Dashiell Hammett, his apparent model, and therefore less tedious; but if you are looking for a touch of Raymond Chandler imaginativeness or elegance of design then look elsewhere."[4]
