I was quite taken with The Bookshop of the Broken Hearted by Aussie author Robert Hillman. Tom Hope is an Aussie farmer, abandoned and stunned, who meets Hannah (of the bookshop and an Auschwitz survivor), and what a pair they make! Excellent book.
4.5★ Link to my review of Bookshop
I very much enjoyed another dose of the slow horses in Joe Country, but it pays to remember not to get to attached to the characters as Mick Herron seems to have no qualms about killing them off, even the regular ones. 5 big ★s from me and I hope we don't have to wait too long to find out what's in store for Slough House next.

The Sixth Wicked Child by J.D. Barker sure is an explosive finale to this great series. Recommended for fans of psychological thrillers but it's essential that you start from book 1 (The Fourth Monkey. my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I think that Gemma Woodstock's third outing, Where the Dead Go by award-winning Aussie author, Sarah Bailey can be easily enjoyed as a stand-alone as each book has a different setting, but reading the first two will supply some background to this complex character (who is certainly getting more likeable with each installment)4.5★s

I'm happy to say I was enchanted by the award-winning Flames by Robbie Arnott - not my usual fare, but well worth the time invested.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Stupid, tacky and utterly ridiculous. My son and I loved it!! It's Me.

Christmas by the Lighthouse by Rebecca Boxallhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Sometimes a sweet and sexy romance is just what you need and The Aussie Next Door fits the bill. A predictable happy-ever-after ending can be welcome after a bunch of psychological thrillers...4.5★s

After reading Furious Hours: Murder, Fraud, and the Last Trial of Harper Lee by Casey Cep, I decided I'd like to re-read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee which I originally read in high school in the 1970s (yes, young 'uns that was a very long time ago!)
