Finalizing the Neddies



Since I reported over this last week on the first three shortlists of nominees for Australia’s 2025 Ned Kelly Awards (aka the “Neddies”), it seems only right that I mention the final set of contenders. The following works are vying for Best Crime Fiction honors:

Shadow City, by Natalie Conyer (Bonnier Echo)
Sanctuary, by Garry Disher (Text)
Unbury the Dead, by Fiona Hardy (Affirm Press)
The Creeper, by Margaret Hickey (Random House Australia)
Cold Truth, by Ashley Kalagian Blunt (Ultimo Press)
Highway 13, by Fiona McFarlane (Allen & Unwin)
17 Years Later, by J.P. Pomare (Hachette Australia)
Storm Child, by Michael Robotham (Hachette Australia)

The Australian Crime Writers Association will announce the winners of its latest Ned Kelly Awards in September.
