The Australian ‘Sisters in Crime’ Davitt Awards shortlist for 2009 have been announced and here is their shortlist (from Teenage Fiction for All Ages) for best teen mystery/crime fiction by an Australian female author:
- Catherine Jinks – Genius Squad (av. on amazon.com and for Kindle)
- Maureen McCarthy – Somebody’s Crying
- Sophie Masson – The Case of the Diamond Shadow
- Isabelle Merlin – Three Wishes (av. on amazon.com)
- Beth Montgomery – Murderer’s Thumb
- Felicity Pulman – Willows for Weeping
- Moya Symons – The Walk Right In Detective Agency: Open for Business
- Moya Symons – The Walk Right In Detective Agency: High Crime in Milk Bay
As with many international YA, availability is an issue. Aside from the 2 titles that I have noted above (Genius Squad and Three Wishes), I had to link to the WolrdCat entries for the other titles.
But, Genius Squad is available on the Kindle — maybe this is the solution for making some international YA more accessible? International YA goes digital?
