10 short stories you must read in 2010 par Maggie Alderson
Very enjoyable collection of Australian short-fiction.
I especially liked Dress Medium, The Evolution of Sadie Smith and The Amber Amulet. Will have to follow up the authors other works.
A first Nick Earl's book for me, a reading group book.
An interesting story. Different slant on crime/detective, with journalist priming old friend for receiving a bravery award. Started slowly, but pace speeds up at the end.
A good read. I found the descriptions a little overdone at first, but I was amused at some of his human foible observations.

Awesome finding references to places local to me within the story
