There are many many exciting thrillers written by Australian authors. The vast majority of these books are ignored outside of Australia, understandable given the fact that they are rarely published elsewhere. This is a real shame because there are some books of outstanding quality just waiting to be discovered. I'm here to help you discover some of these Aussie crime authors by reading and reviewing as many of their books as I can. I have even taken it a step further by launching a new web-site that lists the works of as many crime authors as I can track down.
