I discovered this news overnight, but didn’t have time to post it then. And this morning, I’m in rather a rush to complete an assignment, so do not have the time necessary to look up all of the publishers responsible for the books listed (as I would normally do).
Anyway, here are the longlists of contenders for the 2018 Ned Kelly Awards, sponsored by the Australian Crime Writers Association. Winners will be announced during a special ceremony held during the Melbourne Writers Festival, August 24-September 2.
Best Crime:
• Marlborough Man, by Alan Carter
• Under the Cold Bright Lights, by Garry Disher
• Redemption Point, by Candice Fox
• The Lone Child, by Anna George
• Crossing the Lines, by Sulari Gentill
• Class Act, by Ged Gillmore
• Pachyderm, by Hugh McGinlay
• Big Red Rock, by David Owen
• The Secrets She Keeps, by Michael Robotham
• The Student, by Iain Ryan
• Clear to the Horizon, by Dave Warner
Best First Crime:
• The Dark Lake, by Sarah Bailey
• Wimmera, by Mark Brandi
• The Girl in Kellers Way, by Megan Goldin
• All Our Secrets, by Jennifer Lane
• The Echo of Others, by S.D. Rowell
• See What I Have Done, by Sarah Schmidt

Best True Crime:
• The Contractor, by Mark Abernethy
• Unmaking a Murder: The Mysterious Death of Anna Jane Cheney, by Graham Archer
• The Suitcase Baby, by Tanya Bretherton

• The Last Escape, by John Killick
• The Fatalist, by Campbell McConachie
• Once a Copper: The Life and Times of Brian “The Skull” Murphy,
by Vikki Petraitis
As interesting as these lists are, it’s surprising to see which books were submitted for consideration, but didn’t make the cut.
