I have a colleague heading to Australia for three weeks on Friday. He wanted some Aussie reading for the trip so I've bought in a few books for him to choose from. I think they'd be good companions for anyone making the trip. Here's what's in my goody bag (with links to reviews). Feel free to add to the list ...
Adrian Hyland - Diamond Dove
Phillip Gwynne - The Build Up
Peter Temple - Truth; Bad Debts
Shane Maloney - Stiff; The Brush-Off; Nice Try
Kel Robertson - Dead Set
Leah Giarratano - Vodka Doesn't Freeze
Garry Disher - Blood Moon
It would be nice if there were a few more books on there but, as I've noted before on the blog, getting hold of crime novels published in Australia isn't easy or cheap. In exchange for a loan of some of the above, I'm getting my colleague to bring me back a couple of books I can't buy from here. Seems like a fair dinkum deal to me.
