Rowland Sinclair is only 14, but he knows the ratcatcher's a bit suss. ('suspicious', for non-Aussies)
4.5★ My review of Company of Rats with a link to the story online
This was a different sort of murder mystery with a firm of defence lawyers looking into the disappearance of a client arrested for murder. I didn't realise it was #19 in a popular series of legal thrillers, but it is self contained and worked well as a stand-alone.
The Missing Piece by John Lescroartreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've said before that the narrator is critical to the enjoyment of an audiobook, and whoever picked Lewis Fitz-Gerald for Emma Viskic's Caleb Zelic series got it exactly right.5★s for Those Who Perish

Readers who enjoyed Jaye Ford's earlier-published Already Dead will lap up this extra dose of that book’s gutsy protagonist, Miranda Jack, in this prequel, Already Gone. Gripping Aussie crime fiction.5★s

Grimoire by AA Kim Wilkins/Kimberley Freeman is a large chunk of a book, but definitely worth a read. There is a new audiobook edition that I found easier to get hold of than the original paperback (circa 1999).https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A quality audio read.

Anyone in the mood for a funny, moving and uplifting read that stars a lovely old labrador named Moses could try Even the Dog Knows by American author, Jason F. Wright. 4★s

The Lightning Rod by Brad Meltzer is a fast paced thriller featuring a mortician who discovers a military cover-up while attending the body of a dead officer.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I have just started Death Most Definite which is the first in a trilogy by QLD author Trent Jamieson.It is a very fun (so far) supernatural action book and at the moment at least it is set in Brisbane. This ticks a lot of Aussie Readers boxes for different challenges, so I thought I would give it a shout out :)

4 and a half stars

I really enjoyed the print version of L.J.M. Owen's novel set in Tasmania, The Great Divide and Nicholas Osmond does an excellent job of narrating the audio.5★s
