Hi Everyone, another one I read recently was "Almost Perfect - the Crawford Family Murders - by Greg Fogarty, it was very interesting but gruesome and awful - I found it interesting because I am from Melbourne and knew parts of the area. But please be warned it is gruesome. Faye

Has anyone read any Garry Disher novels, he is an Aussie author, lives in the same area in Victoria as myself. He writes teenage fiction and murder crime fiction. I always enjoy his descriptions as he sometimes mentions a town or beach near home. I just finished one of his teenage books.
Hi Brenda, I have read two of the crime stories from Garry Disher,I really enjoyed them. Partly because of the area, even though some of the places names were just not the correct name such as beach names, from the description I could tell where he was describing. I have emailed him regarding his writing and he personally emailed me back, he was very pleasant.Faye

Dragon Man and Chain of Evidence are the crime ones I read. Enjoyed both.

Mish, I think you will love this book, I am nearly finished and I have enjoyed it the whole way through. It is very simply written, I don't mean that in a bad way...it suits the story. Faye

That sounds like my type of book Faye :) Personally I do prefer books that are easy to read with a good plot - I'm not one for poetic writing
