I've been reading a fantastic memoir this week, Madness: a Memoir by AA Kate Richards. Here's my review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Suddenly without a book to read, I discovered some books by Angela Marsons in my Kindle library, that I had bought for my partner to read. I started at the beginning of the Detective Kim Stone series and I thoroughly enjoyed Silent Scream.
My review is here, I gave it 4 stars

Lucy Treloar's next book, Wolfe Island will be out in September. I count myself VERY LUCKY to have scored an advance copy from Pan Macmillan Australia. What a talented author! Possibly better than Salt Creek, but a brilliant read, for sure. 5 BIG ★s from me

I'm really enjoying Aussie author Sulari Gentill's Rowland Sinclair mystery series. Artists, weathy pastoralists, and religious nutters mix it up in A Decline in Prophets in Sydney in the 1930s. Lovely people!

Krystal, I think you had to be there for this series. At the time, I loved it and if I read it now, it would be a big nostalgia trip...

"I wonder if that would have made a difference for me or if it's just not my kind of thing. This type of humour has never really appealed to me. Maybe I just missed the boat on it!
I've become very fond of Czech detective Josef Slonský in Graham Brack's excellent series. Funny, good plot, good characters and a new part of the world for me. Field of Death is #4. Good read!

Darkness on the Edge of Town by Adam Christopher
My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Didn't feel like a Stranger Things book. Check out Suspicious Minds by Gwenda Bond instead.
This psychological thriller has a lot of 5★ reviews but I didn't enjoy it as much as I'd hoped.

Best-selling Aussie author, Joy Rhoades has written a sequel to The Woolgrower’s Companion. The Burnt Country is out 6th August. It can stand alone, but does contain some spoilers for TWC. But why deny yourself the pleasure of reading either of these wonderful doses of Aussie historical fiction?
I loved them both 5★s worth.

Thanks, Brenda. You've just reminded me I forgot to read The Prodigal Son before I read the second book, which I'm about to 'review'. I'm another who knew little of the Old Guard and New Guard and the political machinations of the times. I'm loving the series!
