The Australian Crime Writers Association is beginning to roll out its nominees for the 2024 Ned Kelly Awards (the “Neddies”). First up: the shortlist of contenders in the Best Debut Crime Fiction category:
• Four Dogs Missing, by Rhys Gard (Echo)
• Gus and the Missing Boy, by Troy Hunter (Wakefield Press)
• Lowbridge, by Lucy Campbell (Ultimo Press)
• Murder in the Pacific: Ifira Point, by Matt Francis (Big Sky)
• The Fall Between, by Darcy Tindale (Penguin)
• The Beacon, by P.A. Thomas (Echo)
• Violet Kelly and the Jade Owl, by Fiona Britton (Allen & Unwin)
Still to come are the shortlists for Best True Crime, Best International, and Best Crime Fiction. If tradition provides precedent, then the winners of all these prizes will be declared in the fall.
