Crime Fiction:

Crimson Lake

Candice Fox

Where True Detective meets the Sunshine Coast. A tightly-written thriller in a sinister, humid setting.

Wimmera

Mark Brandi

Top-notch Aussie rural literary noir. A deeply unsettling exploration of boyhood and the rippling damage of child sexual assault.

The Thirst

Jo Nesbø

Nesbø is back to his best with a gripping and dark Harry Hole thriller. Tinder-users beware, your date may have a thirst for blood.

And Fire Came Down

Emma Viskic

The dark and intense follow-up to one hell of a debut. ‘A wasteland of shattered people’ and some killer dialogue set in the oppressive heat of an Australian summer.
