Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I'm always assured of a great read when Aussie author Fiona Lowe is writing, and A Family of Strangers is no exception. Topical issues and characters you care about, moving, insightful, thought-provoking, everything you'd expect from this talented author.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments My non-review shows why book reviewers are important. I also link to a very informative real review by a scientist and the interesting NZ article that sent me down this rabbit hole! Please avoid this book, though.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I really enjoyed the final book in Robert Dugoni's Charles Jenkins trilogy, The Silent Sisters. I laughed a lot more than I expected to.

Carolyn | 9836 comments This one didn't quite hit the mark for me. I has a few 5 star reviews and has won an award so I'll be interested to see what others think.

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments Edgware Road by Yasmin Cordery Khan tells the story of an international banking scandal and how an English-Pakistani family living in London got caught up in it, to the point that someone ends up dead. Excellent!

PattyMacDotComma | 3297 comments The only short story Toni Morrison ever wrote, Recitatif, has been reissued with an introduction by Zadie Smith. It is a real mind-bender. Which girl is black, which white? I loved it.
Recitatif by Toni Morrison 5★ Link to my review of Recitatif with a link to an article by Zadie Smith.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I really enjoyed eleven little bites of Mick Herron magic in the print version of Dolphin Junction, so revisiting it in audio format, narrated by David Thorpe, Emma Powell, Julian Franklin and Sean Barrett, was an unalloyed pleasure.

Sarah | 1543 comments Here's my review of The Waterhole by Aussie (WA) Author Lily Malone. For me, the jury's still out on the current trend of established romance authors turning their hand to the crime/thriller genre. This was an entertaining read.
