My count this year of crime fiction by Australian authors was 16, despite my determination this time last year to attempt to read more.So among my New Year's resolutions is of course that I will try to read more in 2012. It is not that there aren't plenty on offer!

Every year one of my reading resolutions is to read more Aussie authors. I think this year I have done better than normal!
Kerrie - I'm always impressed with the amount of reading you accomplish. Thanks for linking to your reviews, too; that's really useful as I look around for "what to read next."
I hope the list is useful Margot.
I read 38 books by Aussies this year and am very pleased with the result, having made a conscious effort to read more than last year's 20. Not all of mine were crime fiction this year (the vast bulk were though).
I've just finished 'Bereft' and loved it. I'm not reading any reviews until I've written mine but I thought him a great find.
