Join me and Katherine Kovacic, moderated by Sue Turnbull, as we sift through our state's crime writing tradition!
Western Australia isn’t a wealthy state by chance. Well over a century of extracting iron ore, gold, diamonds and other precious minerals created a rich seam of social history and storytelling that crime authors have been busy mining.
Come and say hello; we’d love to see you!

The Buried
Book 4 in the Kalgoorlie Crime Series
A place to hide. A secret to bury.
The fourth thrilling novel in the bestselling Kalgoorlie series
A fiery car crash into a shop is only the beginning ...
When a car slams into a Kalgoorlie corner store, Detective Angie Sullivan hopes that it is a chance mishap. But as she starts an investigation, unsettled by the arrival of a new detective from Perth, she is drawn into something darker than it first appears.
The death of a local homeless man at the same time seems at first to be a tragic accident. But inconsistencies at the scene - the abandoned mineshaft where he lived - suggest a more sinister truth.
Angie and her team must grapple with secrets, betrayals and murder to unravel a mystery that stretches back across decades.
Praise for Fleur McDonald's Kalgoorlie novels:
'Superb writing and storytelling' — The Australian
'McDonald's great factuality, the amazing plot twist (which I didn't see coming at all) and superb writing kept me hooked' — Good Reading
'In this atmospheric murder mystery with convincingly drawn detectives and well-constructed plot, readers can happily add The Witness to the pile of reliable rural crime' — The Age
