My F2F mystery book club is having an international theme this year. Does anyone have any recommendations for readily available (US market) mysteries set in Australia? I know about Kerry Greenwood, but does anyone know of others? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
The Broken Shore by Peter Temple
Moonlight Downs (Emily Tempest #1) by Adrian Hyland

Inspector Napoleon Bonaparte series by Arthur William Upfield (29 in a series)

You could try one of Peter Corris's Cliff Hardy mysteries, or else something by Gabrielle Lord or Kathryn Fox. However, Peter Temple is probably my favourite Australian crime writer.

Garry Disher has a series that begins with The Dragon Man set in Melbourne area. Very good.
