My very short review of Execution in E by Alexia Gordon:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
5 stars
I read The White Book by Han Kang; translated from the Korean by Deborah Smith.A compelling autobiographical meditation using fragmented images of objects in the color white to serve as the backdrop for the narrator’s grief at the death of her older sister. The format is unconventional.

Death at Victoria Dock is #4 in the Phryne Fisher mystery series by Aussie author Kerry Greenwood, and I enjoyed it as much as the previous adventures of this clever siren and amateur detective in 1920s Australia.
