I finished my Feb book. It came out in January and might have awards in it's future. It's hard to read due to all the trauma, so won't be for everyone

Good job Kylie!!

[Icewineanne]

Finished Mar & April books back to back. Squeezed in March’s book just in time, but got April in super early 🤗

Loved both of these. Found the MC in Mallowan Hall, irritating in the beginning (knocked off a partial star for how annoying she was), but halfway through the author introduced a perfect foil for her, he’s a terrific character. Very excited to read the next book in the series.
March - Murder at Mallowan Hall by Colleen Cambridge 31/3/22 3.75 ⭐️

And this book is continuation of a terrific series. Highly recommended but do start with the the first book in the series.
April - The Art of Betrayal by Connie Berry 2/4/22 4.5 ⭐️

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Well done Anne - great to see you've enjoyed them both as well!

[Helen]

I have finished my April read :) 15/4/22
