My review for
Murder on the Oxford Canal by Faith Martin, #1 in an 18 book series. Seems like a cross between 'Endeavour' and 'Midsomer Murders' so far.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Rupert Degas really is the perfect choice for narrating Sulari Gentill's Rowland Sinclair series. His rendition of A Dangerous Language makes it a joy to listen to.5★s

My review of Ellery A. Kane's new release, Her Perfect Bones (Rockwell & Decker #2). This was a well-plotted mystery-thriller straddling the police procedural and psychological sub-genres. Set in picturesque northern coastal California.

My review of Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell, an anthology of quotations whose title is self-explanatory. I found it a bit hit and miss.

My latest review of an unusual one: 
by the talented Helen FitzgeraldMy review, 3.5 stars: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Summerwater by Sarah Moss was great to listen to - I found myself smiling often as I walked along listening to the story unfold in a series of inner monologues (multiple characters).https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Heartstone is the fourth in the excellent Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series set in King Henry VIII's very bloody England. Author C.J. Sansom seems to know his stuff (excuse the academic terminology) about the wars of the time.
3.5~4★ Link to my Heartstone review
I finally read the first book of the much-loved Monkeewrench mystery series by mother-daughter duo P.J. Tracy. People and plot were every bit as good as I was told. I'm delighted there are more!

Two Questions: Changing Countries For Love... Is it worth it? Would you do it again? by Danielle MurrayMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
In Stealing Time, Aussie author Rebecca Bowyer has created a future Australia that's intriguing, but not one I'd want to live in, although, oops, I'm over 65 so I wouldn't. Certainly thought-provoking speculative fiction. Out 23rd March4★s

Kitty Flanagan's 488 Rules for Life: The Thankless Art of Being Correct is a hugely entertaining read. Especially good in audio read by Kitty herself. Probably best not read on public transport in the quiet carriage...4.5★s

Here's my review of Death Awaits in Durham (Kitt Hartley Yorkshire Mysteries #4) by Helen Cox. It's a little grittier than your average cosy mystery!

Fans of true crime will be fascinated by Barrenjoey Road, a book based on ABC podcasts and a TV series, by Ruby Jones and Neil Mercer, especially if they are familiar with the Northern Beaches area.4★s
