Garry Disher: Day's End, 9781800817371, paperback, Viper, 9. August pub date

Garry Disher sits in a quality of his own as an Australian noir crime writer with my favourite character, Hirsch, at its center,  the only policeman on duty in a God foresaken place called Tiverton and an area to patrol that would make anyone in Europe go pale. 

The upcoming " Day's End" is the 4th in the Hirschhausen series which I have become addicted to,  but maybe because this is the third Aussie crime novel I have read lately with crystal meth dealers in its plots, this new "Hirsch" does not get my usual five stars simply because I found the story not completely tight and sometimes confusing.

Disher's  great writing is always a treat as is his ability to start the book with seemingly benign assignments, here driving an international visitor, Janne Van Sant, to her sons last employer before he disappeared, resulting in a whole firework of events. Disher is great when describing life in the outback, Hirsch's plight and emotions,  the strange and dangerous characters living in these place. Even if not 5 stars this time, always such captivating reading.
