PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments Ashley Audrain's novel, The Push, caused a lot of stir and I wondered why. I knew there was a worn-out mother with young children, but I expected something more.

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments A new favourite Aussie thriller for my bookshelf! If you need more than my enthusiasm, Lee Child called Michael Trant's latest novel, Wild Dogs "Tough, fast and hard – my kind of book." It is also a completely authentic, Aussie outback story. I'm with Lee on this one.

Sarah | 385 comments Here's my review of Arthur W. Upfield's 1929 mystery-thriller The Barrakee Mystery, an early example of quality Australian crime writing. A great read, but also troubling in its historically accurate depictions of treatment of and attitudes towards indigenous Australians.

A Question of Death).

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments What a genre-busting delight The Nancys is! NZ author R.W.R. McDonald's debut is a funny, amateur-sleuth mystery with bright, young Tippy Chan and her over-the-top gay uncle and his beau.
