Each year the Australian Crime Writers Association recognises and celebrates the achievements and continuing strength of Australian authors. The Ned Kelly Awards for crime writing are among Australia’s oldest and most recognised awards. They are a highlight of the Australian publishing and literary calendar.

The judging panel commented that 2024 was the year of cosy crime, a sub-genre that has surged in popularity around the world. The judges also noted, despite being fiction, a number of books reflected real world issues, including providing voices for girls and women. This year’s shortlist explores everything from the dark side of social media and the internet, to Sydney’s swinging 60s; espionage in contemporary Australia and the ever popular rural noir.
