Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments The Day My Husband Left by Amy Miller is not an easy novel to review without spoilers, but I think I've managed it. A delightful, funny, heart-warming read.
4.5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Jane Harper's Tasmanian coast in The Survivors is just as compelling as her outback in The Dry and The Lost Man. Evelyn Bay is such a small town that it's almost a locked room mystery. Loved it!
The Survivors by Jane Harper 5★ Link to my Survivors review

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I meant to read the two prequels in the Tracy Crosswhite series before I started with #1, but I forgot I'd bought them, so I'm halfway through #2, now have read The Academy, some nice back story for a small price

Light-hearted murder - yes! Perfect to polish off a t*rd of a year.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I thought the second short story prequel in Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series, Third Watch was also worth the price.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments I have just finished The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley and adore his 11-year-old experimental poisoner/investigator, Flavia de Luce. This is the first of what seems to be a terrific mystery series - can't wait to find the rest!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Once again I got to revel in the gravelly tones of Christopher Ragland as he narrated the third of Jack Heath's Timothy Blake series, Hideout. Ragland is an inspired choice for this series! He even had me shedding a tear at the end...

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments I read the Wolfe Brother series by Markus Zusak a while back, but I really love anything narrated by Stig Wemyss, so I was pleased to see Fighting Ruben Wolfe available on BorrowBox.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments It's a pleasure to listen to Erica Lovell narrating the fourth book in Tony Park's Sonja Kurtz series, Last Survivor. She's absolutely spot on with the various accents.

Krystal (krystallee6363) | 2304 comments Just finally finishing all these half-read books today, now that I have some time to myself haha

In Darkness, Shadows Breathe by Catherine Cavendish missed the mark for me I'm afraid!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments The Searcher is my first book by Irish author, Tana French, but it won't be my last. I see from reviews it's more of a slow burn than her usual, but I thought it was utterly enthralling.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments While the characters in My Best Friend's Murder, the debut novel by Aussie author, Polly Phillips, are unlikely to endear themselves, this one is hard to put down, and rewards the reader with a few jaw-dropping twists.
