Thanks to NetGalley, Better Reading Preview and Harlequin Australia, marvellous historical fiction set in Sydney, Hill End and Maitland in the late 19th and early 20th Century from Aussie author, Tea Cooper, The Girl in the Painting gets 5★s from me.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished The Novice by AA Trudi Canavan #2 in the series. Enjoying this series for the return to a fantasy series, I haven't read any for many years before starting this series a few months ago.
★★★★
L.J.M. Owen's latest foray into crime is dark and gritty: The Great Divide features Detective Jake Hunter and I think I might even prefer him to her other protagonist, Dr Elizabeth Pimms. More of him will definitely be welcome.5★s

Thanks to Penguin Michael Joseph Australia for this debut novel Maggie’s Going Nowhere by Aussie author, Rose Hartley. Even though the eponymous Maggie wasn't all that likeable to start with, it was a very entertaining read. 4.5★s

History and mystery, a great combination! C.J. Sansom's Shardlake series is terrific, and the third book, Sovereign, finds our favourite hunchbacked lawyer mixed up again in the dangerous power struggles of Henry VIII's England.
4.5★ Link to my review of Sovereign

Who Slays the Wicked by C.S. Harrisreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just enjoyed a welcome visit to Three Pines where Louise Penny shows us the Montreal art world and Clara's unique talent - or is it just A Trick of the Light? I love these people, especially Clara, (and I never liked the victim anyway).
4.5~5★ Link to my "Trick of the Light" review
