The Luminaries is being 'sold' by the author as a murder mystery. It's in my 'to be read' list, mainly due to the location and setting.
Another crime author, although British, has a definite link to New Zealand, where she was known as Juliet Hulme. Now writes under her new name, Anne Perry. I haven't read any of her books, but according to Wikipedia her works generally fall into one of several categories of genre fiction, including historical murder mysteries and detective fiction.
