Thank to Allen & Unwin I have just finished my ARC of
by Katherine KovacicI 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.

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.
4.5~5★ Link to my Echo Chamber review
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.
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!
5★ Link to my Cost of Care review
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.5★s

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.

I was so pleased that Wollongong City Libraries ordered in the Justice Jones series by Elly Griffiths, and even though they're aimed at 7-9 year-olds, this 66-year-old enjoyed them very much. #3 A Ghost in the Garden is a 5★ read and now I have to be patient for more...https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
