Deb Omnivorous Reader | 1929 comments Thank to Allen & Unwin I have just finished my ARC of Just Murdered by Katherine Kovacic by Katherine Kovacic

I am giving it 4* ; while it was a lot of fun it did not quite meet the standard of either the Phryne Fisher novels by Kerry Greenwood nor Kovacic's previous books.

It was a great deal of fun though. I will probably re-read it again pretty soon as I rather gobbled it down. Also, I hope there will be more.

PattyMacDotComma | 3312 comments I loved John Boyne's latest novel, a satire about The Echo Chamber that is Twitter. The Cleverley family is less than clever, but oh, so funny, as they learn what being cancelled means.

PattyMacDotComma | 3312 comments I often admit that I have a soft spot for short stories, and I've just read two very different ones. Both are FREE and I've included links where you can find them.

Well-known author Amor Towles wrote The Line about a simple Russian peasant, Pushkin, who finds contentment easily, while his wife keeps seeking greener pastures.
The Line by Amor Towles 4★ Link to my review of The Line

On a completely different and funny note -

Cost of Care by Betsy Robinson is an extremely short story that is bound to delight you! Spare a few minutes to see a pair of entitled folk get their come-uppance. Supremely satisfying!
Cost of Care by Betsy Robinson 5★ Link to my Cost of Care review

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10002 comments The Other Side of Beautiful is the first book I have read by Aussie author, Kim Lock, but I would like to read more. I loved taking a road trip from Adelaide to Darwin with Mercy Blain and her dog, Wasabi.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10002 comments While we often see TV or movie adaptations of books, the reverse is less common. Katherine Kovacic has adapted the first episode of the Ms Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries series into a novel, Just Murdered and done it in a very entertaining fashion.
5★s from me and looking forward to more of these.
