My review ofA Life Of Her Own by Fiona McCallum
2 and a half stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Had anyone told me, before I began reading Sulari Gentill's Rowland Sinclair series, that I would actually choose to read fiction laced with a hefty dose of Australian political history, I would have questioned their sanity. But when Sulari serves it up, it's not only interesting and easy to absorb, but also hugely entertaining.A Dangerous Language, #8 in the series, is another 5★ read.

Little Bookshop of Murder by Maggie Blackburn which had all the right ingredients for a good cosy mystery turned out to be somewhat disappointing.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review of
An Ace and A Pair by Blake Banner, first in a fast paced murder mystery series.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is the first time I’ve partaken of a novel provided by The Pigeonhole to be read in daily instalments. It’s an interesting experience, but I’m not sure if Aussie journalist and author, Katherine Firkin’s debut Sticks and Stones would have been better read in one sitting. A good first effort.3.5★s

Having read Michael Robotham's first Cyrus Haven book, I was very pleased to get an early copy of the sequel, When She Was Good via NetGalley. I was not disappointed. You're all in for another Robotham treat on July 28th.5★s

5 Stars! My review for The Nothing Man by Catherine Ryan Howard

Of course I knew I'd enjoy a trip to Botswana with Alexander McCall Smith's Mma Ramotswe and her No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency. Morality for Beautiful Girls is the third enjoyable book, and there are more!
4★ My "Morality" review

I've been listening to a novella/short in the Ulf Varg series - The Strange Case of the Moderate Extremists by Alexander McCall Smith. Enjoyed the narration with (presumably) correct pronunciation of Swedish names. I gave it 3.5★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I haven't read any books by Gene Wolfe but as I have the sequel, Interlibrary Loan to read on NetGalley, I thought I'd better read the first book, A Borrowed Man. Quite fascinating: a dystopian/sci-fi/murder mystery all rolled into one. 5★s

This one has been getting some great reviews so I'm keen to read it. Had to skim your review because looks like you have a few spoilers there and I want to go into this one blind I think!
Slonský's First Murder by Graham Brack is a free short story that's a prequel to his popular series about my favourite clever and amusing Czech detective.

Greta Thunberg is a young girl who has inspired people all over the world. Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara has told her story here for children, all of whom should know about her. . . and so should their parents!

Silver, by Aussie author Chris Hammer, follows journalist Martin Scarsden from Hammer's popular Scrublands. It's not quite the relaxing move to the coast Scarsden was hoping for, but it's a good read!
