Dirt Town
4 stars
This is a novel so Australian that it goes from Milo to "no worries" to lamington in the course of a single paragraph.
Apart from that, it's kind of a typical crime novel following the investigation of a young teenage girl's disappearance.
The most interesting thing it does, in my opinion, is, among the chapters following various characters' viewpoints, adding "we" chapters that are meant to be kind of a combined viewpoint of the town's kids.
