Things that happened on AustCrime last week:

https://www.austcrimefiction.org/blog/updates-week-ending-14th-june

Highlights were a most unusual read in Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton, getting to review Going Zero by Andrew McCarten and starting in on a couple of excellent books - one part of a series, the other a debut.

My review of the excellent rural historical crime fiction novel Bone Lands by Pip Fioretti:

https://www.austcrimefiction.org/review/bone-lands-pip-fioretti

1911, on a winter's night in arid New South Wales wool country, mounted trooper Augustus Hawkins discovers the bodies of three young people. They are scions of the richest family in the district...




@bookstodon

Image of the book cover for Bone Lands by Pip Fioretti, with the subtitle "A One-Man Police Station. Three Murders. A Past That Will Not Stay Buried." The image is of a typical rural agricultural scene in the arid areas of Australia. The sky is a menacing dark colour, with touches of orange clouds. The very bottom of the image shows a skeleton , bones white from the sun sitting in bare earth. There's some low, dry looking grass above it, leading to a figure on horseback in the centre, a short scrubby tree to his left, and a small, deserted looking building to the right.

    My Review of one that I really should not have tried to read. Darkness Runs Deep by Claire McNeel:

    https://www.austcrimefiction.org/review/darkness-runs-deep-claire-mcneel

    As always, whenever the vehicle is contentious, DARKNESS RUNS DEEP is going to be a YMMV read.




    @bookstodon

    Image of the book cover for Darkness Runs Deep by Claire McNeel with the subtitle "In this small town's worst moment, will the community come together - or be driven apart?" The background image is dominated by a dark sky filled with stars, sitting over a wide gravel road that's rutted down one side. The road and the trees to the side are lit up as they would be from a vehicle's headlights.
