On my must read list

Before it breaks, Dave Warner

Detective Inspector Daniel Clement is back in Broome, the tropical town where he grew up, licking his wounds from a busted marriage and struggling to be impressed by his new team of small-town, inexperienced cops. But stagnation and lethargy soon give way to a case with urgent purpose. On the edge of the desert, a man is found dead in a crocodile-infested watering hole. And he is only the first. The connection between the victims is elusive, but Clement must pursue it as a decades-old mystery begins to unravel and a monster cyclone brews on the horizon.

Ten years old but always worth reading again and again: The Broken Shore by Peter Temple. If only all crime was this beautifully written.

Good idea Ged. I actually haven't read any of his books yet!!!! I enjoy Jack Irish on the TV though.

The Drop by Michael Connelly is my June nomination.
