Just enjoyed The Scholar by Dervla McTiernan. Our handsome young Irish detective Cormac O'Reilly is put back into action in when his girlfriend finds a dead body one night!
4★ Link to my reviewMcTiernan is Irish, now an Aussie, writing about the Irish Garda (police). I like her stories, and you don't need to have read The Ruin, the first book in the series, to enjoy this one, although I recommend it, too.

My very short review of Alice Walker's Taking the Arrow Out of the Heart. The review is short because it was so difficult to put into words my gratitude for this woman:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of Choosing One Moment: A Time Travel Mystery by Marja McGraw
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm still enjoying my favourite old Czech detective in Graham Brack's great series set in Prague. The third book is Death On Duty: Authentic detective fiction, packed full of suspense, and there are more to come! Dark crime and light humour. Perfect mix! 
4.5★ Link to my review
Now for something completely different! Blossoms in Autumn is a new, adult, graphic (in both senses of the word) novel about an older guy and an older woman, both alone now, and how they get to know each other, warts and all (yes, all). Have a look - I included some good illustrations.

I liked it but with some reservations

Finished The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman. This is #2 in His Dark Materials Series. I didn't think it was as good as Book I. Maybe I'm just not into YA books.

I just finished
The Girls at 17 Swann Street and rated it 5 stars. It was a powerful story about a young woman getting treatment for anorexia.
The Red Collar: A Novel by Jean-Christophe Rufin. A poignant novella with a simple story line and few characters about the indelible scars of war on people and animals.My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
