Why does rural Australia make such a perfect setting for crime? Emily Maguire, Richard Anderson, and Aoife Clifford who have set novels in country towns talk to Catherine du Peloux Menagé.
Richard Anderson is a second-generation farmer from northern New South Wales. He has been running a beef-cattle farm for twenty-five years, but has also worked as a miner and had a stint on the local council. Richard is the author of two rural-crime novels, Retribution and Boxed, both published by Scribe. He lives with his wife, four dogs, and a cat.
