Crime fiction set in Melbourne has presented the city from an early colonialist and sometimes touristic self-consciousness to an almost complete absence of reference to place at all, especially in books intended for an overseas readership. From the latter decades of the 20th century, however, there has been a more assured use of Melbourne settings in a variety of subgenres.
