I loved this disturbing satire. This book gives a chilling depiction of our technology- and AI-obsessed society. It's over-the-top examples and plot line parody our modern times and I found this intelligent and provocative book was both funny and scar ...more |

A gripping tale. This book is set in Atlanta during the late 1940s. The Afro-American area was refered to as Darktown and the first black policeforce of eight men were assigned to this area. Although this story is fiction, it draws on the real social f ...more |

An easy, enjoyable read. This is a spy story with a difference. The story premise is unusual, with a main character who is a dormant russian spy. He has lived in Australia for most of his life, but now wants to go home to Russia. I'm not sure why Savv ...more |

A good suspense and intrigue novel Despite this being an Australian author, the story is set in California during a brutal wildfire. It has a strong female lead, an FBI agent in the midst of turmoil, surrounded by LAPD corruption, murder and a web of d ...more |

Masterful storytelling. I love Gerald Seymour's thrillers because they are complex and multi-layered. In A Line in the Sand, there is no hero to follow. There are many characters, each playing a part in a bigger story. We are led into a small town and ...more |

An intersting Australian thriller but the ending was unsatisfying. This book is set in Australia, in the Victorian ranges forests. It's a switch from the scorched landscapes of 'The Dry'. Federal Police Agent Aaron Falk again is the lead and this time ...more |

A classic le Carre with a shock ending. This is a great story told by a master story-teller. I enjoyed the characters, they were intriguing, interesting, and unpredictable. In the true le Carre style, there's no 'action', it's a story that unfolds whi ...more |

“Fear transforms your body like an inept sculptor does a perfect block of stone... It's just that you're chipped away at from within and no one sees how many splinters and layers have been taken off you. You become even thinner and more brittle inside until even the slightest emotion bowls you over. One hug and you think you are going to shatter and be lost.”
