Fresh Blood: Small town crime

Darcy Tindale, Rhys Gard and Nikki Mottram

Darcy Tindale
Rhys Gard
Nikki Mottram

Not the country or the outback, not the city or the suburbs but a small town. Why are small towns – some real, some imaginary – growth areas as settings of crime fiction? The three debut writers on this panel set their work in small towns. Rhys Gard chose Mudgee and its surroundings, Nikki Mottram sets her book in Crows Nest near Towoomba and Darcy Tindale chooses Muswellbrook.  They talk about how and why.
