Australian crime fiction books typically feature complex and often morally ambiguous characters. They are not just black - and - white good guys and bad guys. The stories often have a slow - burn build - up, gradually revealing the details of the crime and the motives behind it. The use of local dialects and cultural references also makes them unique. For instance, in books set in Aboriginal communities, there are elements of Aboriginal culture and language that enrich the storytelling.
Australian crime fiction often has a strong sense of place. The vast and diverse Australian landscape, whether it's the outback, small coastal towns or big cities, plays a big role in the stories. The characters are usually tough and resourceful, reflecting the Aussie spirit. For example, in 'The Dry', the harsh drought - affected environment is almost like another character.
One characteristic is the exploration of social issues. Many Australian crime fiction books use the crime plot as a vehicle to talk about things like Aboriginal relations, environmental problems, and small - town politics. In 'Scrublands', the shooting in a small town is not just a crime but also a way to show the tensions and issues within the community. Also, the sense of isolation in some of the settings, like in the outback settings of certain books, adds to the mood and the nature of the crimes.
