- Dervla McTiernan,
Disher is the gold standard for rural noir
- Chris Hammer,
A scorchingly good novel
- Michael Robotham,
In this brilliant novel Disher takes his readers on a harrowing journey
- Jock Serong,
The stories are complex without being complicated, the writing pared down yet run with rich seams of character and place. The Hirsch novels are Disher's finest work
- Dominic Nolan, author of AFTER DARK,
In prose baked as hard as the sun-scorched outback, Disher summons up the muggy oppressiveness of a small town with years of buried secrets, a veteran crime writer who knows how to expertly tie together the disparate threads of his narrative
Herald
Peter Temple and Garry Disher will be identified as the crime writers who redefined Australian crime fiction
Sydney Morning Herald
Peace is a very impressive piece of crime fiction. There has been a lot of fuss about Australian rural noir in recent years, but few, if any, do it better than Disher
Canberra Weekly
Peace is rural noir at its best
Canberra Times
Relevant, fresh and exciting. Peace is a satisfying complex mystery that reflects on family, corruption, big city violence seeping into the country, deep rooted racism, rural isolation and decline. The story is vivid, brutal and fast paced
Crime Time
The great thing about these books is their sheer believability and attention to detail. Hirsch himself is a fine creation. [An] immersive and addictive book
