Critics Review
‘Mischance Creek, the fifth novel in this series, is plotted so well that the eventual climax seems both inevitable and shocking…There are plenty of fine Australian crime writers, but if I could only read one of them it would be Garry Disher, the Big Daddy of them all.’ * The Times (UK) *
‘Garry Disher is the doyen of the outback crime novel and his latest about South Australian police constable Paul ‘Hirsch’ Hirschhausen, Mischance Creek, once more sets the standard for the genre.’ * Canberra Weekly *
‘Mischance Creek confirms Disher’s place as one of Australia’s great crime writers.’ * Cheryl Akle, Australian *
‘Hirsch is one of my favourite characters…Unmissable.’ * Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town *
‘Disher is the gold standard for rural noir.’ * Chris Hammer *
‘Disher is one of this country’s finest writers.’ * Tony Birch *
‘A giant not only of crime fiction but of Australian letters.’ * Ned Kelly Awards *
‘A master at controlling his material, taking his readers along the dusty, rutted roads that always pop up when we expect bitumen smoothness. But it’s a journey worth taking, for the pure joy of the writing.’ * Herald Sun *
‘This is a terrific read. It works as a standalone, but really – why stop there? The ‘Hirsch’ series is that good.’ [4.5 stars] * Good Reading Magazine *
‘The characters are stark, the emotions of the big dry – quiet despair, hope and endurance – jump off the pages. Authentic Aussie crime writing at its best.’ [5 stars] * SA Weekend *
‘Another gripping read…’ * BookPeople *
