    Thanks for posting this. There are a lot I don't have so I'll be looking out for them.

    I love the Jack Taylor series, so I was happy to see Ken Bruen in there.

    have a great day

    Some of my favourite British authors on your list. I'm sorry to admit that I don't know the Australian ones, but I'm taking note and will look out for them - thanks for the list.
