AustCrimeFiction is currently being redeveloped. Book entries, reviews and updates are still being transferred from the old site - apologies for the delay in restoring, it will be finished as quickly as possible.

Friday Update: The Reading Queue
A new idea I'm trying out - Friday Updates of the Reading Queue.
#CurrentlyReading
Redbelly Crossing by Candice Fox (pretty well unputdownable)
#NextUp
Old Games by Fiona Hardy (way way too overdue)
The Vanishing Place by Zoe Rankin (2026 Ngaio's submission list & another that's been languishing)
Dark Desert Road by Tim Ayliffe (where does the time go)
2026 Ngaio Marsh Awards - Submissions List
Just a quick update to let you know that I've been building a submissions list for the Ngaio Marsh Awards for 2026 on the site.
If you'd like to have a look at the full list here and maybe read along.
There's also now a list on Hardover.app if that's more convenient.
(There's a lot of them / way too many to go in the normal monthly update).
AustCrime Update: January / February - Part 2
Second part of this newsletter - other regions recent arrivals / upcoming releases only. If the first part didn't arrive you can read it online here.
Recent Arrivals / Upcoming Releases (Other Places)
You may notice a preoccupation with places of Ice and Cold. It happens around here in Summer.
AustCrime Update: January / February - Part 1
First newsletter for 2026. As anticipated January was a nightmare of fire weather, stinking heat, dust storms, kilometres walked checking on everyone and everything, no rain and did I mention heat.... Amazed we got anything done really other than slogging it out trying to keep the burnable trash in the house yards to a minimum and animals and birds alive. But here we are. Sort of upright.
I'm sending this out in two parts as I suspect it's a bit too long for the newsletter delivery system so other regions additions to follow in the next instalment.
