Hi Col, it has to be the first book in a series, so did you want to nominate Harry's World by A.B. Patterson instead?

My apologies, in my rush to nominate I didn't check properly which one came first. Harry's World - please!

No problems Col :)

Loads of great choices again!!!

Isn't there - and Aussies I didn't know about!!

Also known as Wimmera when it was first released last year :)

I have read this! I really enjoyed it!

It gets confusing when they re-name a book and re-release it as a "new title"!!

I thought Wimmera was renamed as Into the River. I think The Rip is his second book.

Oh really - I stand corrected. Thanks Carolyn :)

No problem - it gets confusing when they keep changing the titles of books!

It sure does!!

Wow, so many Aussie suspense thrillers are about drugs and prostitution... I love the sound of Scrublands but as that's already been nominated by @PattyMacDotComma I'll nominate the following:

Headland by Ged Gillmore

The Escape Room Heard lots of good things about this one by Megan Goldin:)
