Aussie Author Kerry Greenwood takes us to Melbourne and introduces us to the naughty, clever, stunning Miss Phryne Fisher in Cocaine Blues, the first of a long and popular cosy mystery series. TV viewers know her from Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries.

Girl Waits with Gun by Amy Stewart based on actual events in 1914, New Jersey.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Because I really enjoyed Robert Glancy's first novel Terms & Conditions (and am eagerly awaiting the sequel, Unconditional: The sequel to Robert Glancy's Terms & Conditions) I was glad to see that my library had his second novel, Please Do Not Disturb, both in paperback and audio (one of the narrators is my favourite voice from the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, Adjoa Andoh), so I got to read the book and have it read to me, bliss!!I loved it, so 5 big ★s

Fatal Blow by James L. Thane. My review
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If you liked "Where's Wally" and the tiny details in the Richard Scarry children's books, or those great little cartoon tourist maps with all the landmarks, I bet you'd enjoy Egypt Magnified: With a 3x Magnifying Glass. History made fun. Just delightful!
5★ Link to my review with pictures(I apologise that sometimes pictures don't show in the app.)
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi was wonderfully diverse but a little too scattered and vague to draw me in completely.Another gorgeous cover, though!
Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
If you like cosy mysteries with a magical element, this was pretty cute
Murders and Metaphors by Amanda Flower 4★I also loved getting to feel chilly reading about the January snow and ice in the village near Niagara Falls, when it is so hot in this part of the world right now!
