Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments Wow! The Last Days of the Romanov Dancers by Kerri Turner was a delightful historic fiction, set in Russia by new Australian author Kerri Turner who, going by this one, will be one I will definitely look out for again.

It was a really rich story wasn't it? And I know so little about Russian history that it was enchantingly new.

I am very grateful that I got it at the mystery book exchange, I might never have come across it otherwise.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments Award-winning Aussie author Rohan Wilson's third novel, Daughter of Bad Times is a thought-provoking read set in the relatively-near-future. It doesn't require much suspension of disbelief at all.
4.5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Coffin Road is a pretty grim address, but in this case, it's the only starting point a man with amnesia has in the mystery by Peter May. Outer Hebrides, Scotland! Storms, lighthouses, murder!

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I started listening to an interview with author Jojo Moyes about her popular Me Before You, and the interviewer warned me to go make a cup of tea if I didn't want to hear spoilers. I decided, better than that, I'll read the book first! And very glad I did, too! I enjoyed both the book and the interview.
