Sarah | 1543 comments Here's my review of Countdown To A Killing, a new release from English author Tom Vaughan MacAulay. It's an epistolary novel, comprising a series of emails and WhatsApp messages between the characters. Despite the title and the occurence of a murder (literally on the last page!), it's certainly not a traditional mystery or crime-thriller.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments With this talented bunch of narrators (Cam Ralph, Julian Pulvermacher, Nic English, Raechyl French, Taylor Owynns) the audio version of Alison Reynolds novel, The Near Daphne Experience is even funnier than the print version. 5★s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9975 comments Cleaning the Gold is a VERY SHORT story by Karin Slaughter and Lee Child. Narrators Eric Jason Mason and Jeff Harding met my expectations for Jack Reacher but no way does Will Trent sound like that! Entertaining. 4★s
