Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10006 comments I know the ambiguous ending of Sally Hepworth's latest novel, The Younger Wife, exercised some reviewers, but I loved it. My first by this author, not my last!

PattyMacDotComma | 3318 comments A new favourite Aussie thriller for my bookshelf! If you need more than my enthusiasm, Lee Child called Michael Trant's latest novel, Wild Dogs "Tough, fast and hard – my kind of book." It is also a completely authentic, Aussie outback story. I'm with Lee on this one.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 10006 comments Readers who enjoy a cosy mystery should grab Fifty-Four Pigs: A Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery by Canadian vet and author, Philipp Schott. A quirky vet protagonist and a clever dog make this a very entertaining first book of hopefully many in the series. 5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3318 comments I couldn't resist sharing some of the verse and illustrations after enjoying a re-read of Madeline, the much-loved picture book and poem from 1939 by Ludwig Bemelmans. I can't recite all of it anymore, but I'm surprised how much I remember.

"In an old house in Paris that was covered with vines lived twelve little girls in two straight lines. . ."

Sarah | 1576 comments Here's my review of Arthur W. Upfield's 1929 mystery-thriller The Barrakee Mystery, an early example of quality Australian crime writing. A great read, but also troubling in its historically accurate depictions of treatment of and attitudes towards indigenous Australians.
