I just enjoyed The Mystery Writer by one of my favourite authors, Aussie Sulari Gentill. This one has a couple of Aussie characters in the US, caught up in murder, conspiracies and preppers. Good stuff!

I've just enjoyed The Long Game, the first of Aussie author Simon Rowell's series featuring Detective Sergeant Zoe Mayer. Her new service dog, Harry, is helping her get back in harness herself after a bad bout of PTSD. 
My review of The Long Game(Detective Zoe Mayer #1)
The Raging Storm by Ann Cleeves is #3 in her Two Rivers series. I'm still trying to warm to her MC, Matthew. He's a very different character to Vera and Jimmy.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Brutal & Strange edited by Jim Fusilli a book of crime short stories inspired by some of the songs by Elvis Costello. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've liked all of the P.J. Tracy Monkeewrench series, but my favourite so far is #7, Cold Kill (aka The Sixth Idea. Suspenseful (plausible!) threat to today's world. Great read. 
My review of Cold Kill - The Sixth Sense
City of Light by Dave Warner is his first novel and is set in the depth of WA's corrupt underbelly during the 1980s. It's quite a long book (over 500 pages) and would have benefitted from being more concise, but having lived in Perth around that time I enjoyed it it because I was very familiar with the events and places he described. If you haven't read this author yet I'd suggest starting with one of his later books.
