The Man Who Died Twice, 4 stars, loved the read but I do hope the author doesn't forget that his characters are getting older and physicality needs to be realistic.

Such a great thriller, I really enjoyed this book"
Your review is missing Kylie :)
I loved Aussie author Christian White's latest novel Wild Place. The local Neighbourhood Watch group gets a little too active during the 1989 Christmas holidays when a teen disappears. 
5★ Link to my Wild Place review
Jeffery Deaver's short story, Captivated, is a prequel to his Colter Shaw series. Shaw is using some old-school tactics - actual maps and interviews - to find a missing wife.
3.5★ Link to my review of Captivated
Here's my review of Fossil Hunter: How Mary Anning Changed the Science of Prehistoric Life by Cheryl Blackford. It's a biography aimed at middle-high school readers, but fascinating having recently read Tea Cooper's The Fossil Hunter, which draws upon Anning's legacy.

I haven't yet found a book by American author, Catherine Ryan Hyde that I didn't enjoy, so revisiting My Name is Anton in audio, brilliantly narrated by Michael Crouch, was an absolute pleasure.5★s

I loved Geographies of the Heart by Caitlin Hamilton Summie. She writes wonderful short stories, but this is her first novel.
4.5~5★ Link to my review of Geographies of the Heart
How disappointing. I have enjoyed many of Aussie author Di Morrissey's historical fiction novels, but this contemporary one, Before the Storm, seems embarrassingly amaeurish as well as preachy. Could do better.
2.5★ Link to my review of Before the Storm
