A perfect setting for a perfect crime? More and more authors are choosing the spectacular backdrop of the Blue Mountains as the setting for their novels – but why are so many of them crime fiction?
Award-winning author of Dirt Town Hayley Scrivenor and bestselling author and stand-up comedian Benjamin Stevenson talk clifftops, cablecars and wilderness as they dissect their choice of place in their latest novels Girl Falling and Everyone This Christmas Has a Secret.
Hayley Scrivenor is the author of Dirt Town, which won the CWA's prestigious ILP John Creasey 'New Blood' Dagger, a Lambda Literary award, a Davitt Award for Best Debut Crime Book, and an ABIA for General Fiction Book of the Year. Girl Falling is her second novel.
Benjamin Stevenson is an award-winning author and stand-up comedian best-known for his Ernest Cunningham mysteries, Everyone In My Family Has Killed Someone and Everyone On This Train Has Killed Someone. His latest book is Everyone This Christmas Has A Secret.
