There is baking sun and flooding rains, police procedurals and criminal capers, murderous mermaids and poison pens... all give a ripple of pleasure to the reader who knows Brisbane - or wants to know it - and who has wondered why stories of murder, malice, and magic couldn't be set here. And of course, they should be: Brisbane's shadows are as dark and good to hide in as any in the world - and Subtropical Suspense revels in this.\" \u003cem\u003e- Stephen M.

It gives readers a broader sense of what could be going on in our neighbours' back yards.
