Catching Teller Crow by Ambelin Kwaymullina felt like an appropriate read this Australia Day. An interesting little mystery.

It seems a huge departure from his The Scoop Kylie. Did you read that one? I didn't request this one because of the difference, and not being sure if I'd enjoy it.
EDIT: I see in your review that you did read his first :)

My favourite of the Amazon Original Stories "Inheritance" collection is Can You Feel This? by Julie Orringer. Young couple, wife in labour, race to hospital - but it's more than that, both before and after, and beautifully done.
5★ Link to my review
I loved the second book of Michael Robotham's Joe O'Loughlin series, Lost, aka The Drowning Man. Good pace, good plot, characters I cared about, plus the author is an award-winning Aussie!What more could I ask?
4.5★ Link to my "Lost" review
My first crime fiction read of 2020 was a good one! November Road by Lou Berney
You can read my 4 star review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A Murder Unmentioned is another superb dose of Aussie historical crime fiction from Sulari Gentill. This series is really addictive! Sadly, I only have #7 and #8 to go (having already read #9) until #10 A Testament of Character comes out in March. 5★s

My review for
Accidental Activist: Justice for the Groveland Four by Josh Venkataraman & Barbara Venkataraman, a passionate account of how a US college student started a campaign for social justice for four young African American men wrongly convicted of a rape in 1949 that ultimately resulted in their pardon.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

It's totally different Brenda, but I still enjoyed it, though I think I prefer the first book.
I loved Dervla McTiernan's latest Cormac O'Reilly thriller
The Good Turn. So good!

Cleaning the Gold by Karin Slaughter & Lee Childhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
2 stars for this one. I am in the very small minority, most other people love this one going by the reviews.
She by HC Warnerhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just got done with The Weekend by Charlotte Wood
This was a weird one for me because I didn't like the story or the characters but I actually really enjoyed the way it was written and its insights. Normally I live only for the story so I'm surprised by my own 4 star rating.
My review is here:

A bit of translated fiction from my birth country The Ditch, thought-provoking and blackly funny at times: Herman Koch is a master of dark humour.5★s

Another wonderful book in an excellent seriesA Cold Trail by Robert Dugoni

I just finished a rather unique set of stories by a very talented Australian artist - and apparently, writer - probably not for everyone. I believe it might have been mistaken by some people as stories for children, which I highly doubt.
