P.D. Viner's second stand-alone novel The Choice is an entertaining page-turner. 4★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thanks to Richard Osman for another entertaining dose of those marvellous elderly sleuths of the Thursday Murder Club in The Bullet That Missed. 5★s again!https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Deadly Start is my first book by Aussie author Phillipa Nefri Clark. Set at Christmas it's a good start to a new cosy mystery series featuring a bookshop. I finished reading it today while baking a Christmas cake so now I'm starting to look forward to the festive season (8 weeks to go folks!).review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

He's fabulous, isn't he? There's a great discussion at the end of one of the audiobooks between him and Ben Aaronovitch.

The Woman in the Library by Aussie Author Sulari GentillMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Genevieve Hegney is the perfect narrator for Craig Silvey latest novel, Runt. Aimed at young readers, but her enthusiastic rendition is a joy to listen to and delighted this much older reader. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Visit by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
An unusual speculative fiction short story that's satirical in its approach. I liked how it portrayed a woman-dominated world.

The Keepers of the Lighthouse by Aussie Author Kaye DobbieMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Almost 500 pages, but in Cursed, the sequel to Marissa Meyer's Gilded, they just flew by. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
No Such Thing by Nissa Harlow
A YA adaptation of 'Beauty & the Beast'. Pretty well done, especially for an indie author, and will work for the target age group.
