The Country Casebook series are mystery stories set round a fictitious community on Queensland’s Darling Downs. Each omnibus contains six books.
They combine aspects of the police procedural, traditional mystery, family saga, with a quirky sense of country life, the joys and difficulties of living in a small community, and country lore. The series revolves around Sergeant Dennis (Dinny) Walsh, known locally as the ‘Ogre of Buckton’, his family, colleagues, and community.
“Well, here he is, Dinny, your quintessential outback Aussie cop, both hailed and hated. This very Aussie crime series, far removed from big city crime to an atmosphere of dust and heat and small town life, has been hidden for far too long. Enjoy!” – Cheryl Perriman
