The Girl Who Dared to Dream by Diney Costeloe and my latest review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Ian McEwan latest novel, Lessons is a too-detailed description of a mediocre life: some beautiful prose but far too wordy for me! 3★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"The Legacy of Eve" by Natasha Boydell.
Needed some tighter editing, but the story on the whole is great.

The Opal Miner's Daughter by Fiona McArthurhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

When We Fall by Aussie Author Aoife CliffordMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Hope to Die by Cara Hunter will remind many Australians of the case of the intriguing case of Keli Lane and her missing baby. my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Unbelieved, the debut novel by Aussie true crime writer, Vikki Petraitis is a gripping, highly relevant and topical page-turner. 4★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"Everything Is OK" by Debbie Tung
An amazing memoir by my favourite contemporary graphic artists. Deals with mental health issues and how to cope.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Definitely recommend this one!
by Michael RobothamMy review, five stars:

Mick Herron's Slough House series is the perfect mix of political intrigue, action, and humour. Here the Slow Horses are up against some Bad Actors indeed. Love it!
5★ My review
Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young is a mystery surrounding the death of a young woman on an island that is steeped in myth and magic.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Only 2★s for Bony at Bermagui by Arthur Upfield because Bony investigating crime is interesting and intriguing; Bony or Upfield fishing or writing about fish is, frankly, boring. One tiny short story saves this from a lower rating.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review for The Tricky Art of Forgiveness by Meredith Jaffe
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
"Midnight on the Marne" by Sarah Adlakha
An alternate history take on the WWI. Very interesting but convoluted on audio. If only I had read this instead of hearing it!
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Edwina Wren's narration of Sulari Gentill stand-alone, The Woman in the Library is perfect, and Nick Ravenswood does an especially creepy Leo. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The current FBI stories have reminded me of the Bureau's connection with First Nations Peoples, whose treatment around the world is also much in the news. David Grann of 'The New Yorker' wrote Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI. I am still furious about this case, as I'm sure most readers would be.
5★ My review with a couple of photos
A Better Man by Louise Penny is #15 in her stellar Inspector Gamache series. They're so good I like to save them for a special treat and still have two to look forward to before her new one comes out later this year.my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Dangerous Life of Ophelia Bottom by Susie Bower
An outstanding MG novel. Loved it. This is still up for request on NG in case anyone wants to give it a try.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I love it when an author keeps me guessing and has me completely fooled until the reveal. In I Remember You, Brian Freeman did just that. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
