Exploring a World of Crime

We have now heard about three out of four categories of nominees for the 2024 Ned Kelly Awards (the “Neddies”), sponsored by the Australian Crime Writers Association. Following on from Best Debut Crime Fiction and Best True Crime, the ACWA has announced its shortlist of contenders for Best International Crime Fiction:

Birnam Wood, by Eleanor Catton (Granta)
Dice, by Claire Baylis (Allen & Unwin)
Resurrection Walk, by Michael Connelly (Orion)
The Only Suspect, by Louise Candlish (Simon & Schuster UK)
The Search Party, by Hannah Richell (Simon & Schuster UK)
Zero Days, by Ruth Ware (Simon & Schuster UK)

Still to come are the candidates for Best Crime Fiction. The winners of all the 2024 Neddies should be declared in September.
