A good read! Bitter Wash Road is the first of a series about a rural Aussie copshop run by a 'disgraced' ex-detective. (Moral: never ever rat on crooked cops.) Add me to the list of Garry Disher's fans!

Aussie author Susan Johnson has just released From Where I Fell. Two women from opposite sides of the world reveal more about themselves than they intended in their accidental email 'penpalship'. I loved the slightly naughty feeling of spying on them.

Read A Delusion Of Satan: The Full Story Of The Salem Witch Trials and reviewed it https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3888209426
I read Stoner by John Williams.A quiet novel about a quiet hero. Absolutely brilliant. I had not heard of it until recently. It's a classic to be savored.

I recently finished the omnibus of the first 3 Bridgerton books:
Bridgerton Collection, Volume One by Julia QuinnThese books are really funny with lighthearted women and men with "issues". Had to finish it quickly as there were 138 people in line behind me for the Overdrive KIndle copy. That's what happens when they turn books into Netflix series.
Unusually for me, a non-fiction. I enjoyed it.
