1st 5★ read of the year (for me), Broken Homes by Ben Aaronovitchhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
After reading (and loving) the book that the nice people at Scribe sent me Miss Kopp Just Won't Quit, book #4 in the Kopp Sisters series, I just had to go back to the start. Luckily my library has them all, so it was great read Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart to learn a lot more about Constance Kopp and her sisters. 5★s and I'm looking forward to Lady Cop Makes Trouble

A couple of great reads!The Lost Man by Aussie author Jane Harper is a terrific standalone Outback story and mystery.
My review of The Lost ManA new favourite author is the late Lucia Berlin. Her much acclaimed A Manual for Cleaning Women: Selected Stories is full of unforgettable stories and characters. Loved it!

My review of I Know A Secret by Tess Gerritsen. A 5★ thriller. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks to Better Reading and Allen and Unwin I received a copy of The True Story of Maddie Bright by Mary-Rose MacCollHere is my review.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I would recommend reading it but did find it a bit long-winded at 500 pages!
Thanks to the good people at Allen & Unwin, I got to read the sequel to Hangman, a book I really enjoyed. I think Jack Heath did an excellent job on Hunter: it might just been even better than Hangman. I'm waiting (impatiently) for the answers to the riddles, though: I didn't manage to figure all of them out. And if your sense of humour is as dark as mine, don't read it in the quiet carriage...
5★s

The Death of Murat Idrissi by prize-winning Dutch author Tommy Wieringa is just a quick read, but dark, powerful and thought-provoking.4.5★s

Behind Closed Doors is Book 2 in Tara Taylor Quinn's Ivory Nation series. A bit slow and repetitive, so 3★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review for
I Am Half-Sick of Shadows by Alan Bradley 4★. Love this series about the precocious and lonely 11 y old Flavia de Luce who has a love of the Chemistry of poisons and sleuthing.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It took a while (and a lot of books in-between) but I finally finished Fire and Blood: A History of the Targaryen Kings from Aegon the Conqueror to Aegon III as scribed by Archmaester Gyldayn by George R.R. Martin
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4/5 stars.
As I now have three books of the Harriet Blue series sitting in my TBR, I thought I would get the prequel, Black & Blue by James Patterson and Candice Fox out of the library. I found it a bit clunky.3★s
