Crime reads for September
True West by David Whish-Wilson and River of Salt by Dave Warner are in the running for Australia’s most prestigious crime writing award. Run by the Australian Crime Writers Association since 1995, the Ned Kelly Awards are dedicated to promoting the best crime writing this country has to offer.
The judges described River of Salt by Dave Warner as an ‘evocative tale about the Australian surf scene in the early 1960s with compelling characters’, and True West by David Whish-Wilson as a book with ‘a distinct sense of time and place where you can almost smell the outback’.
