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.5★s

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.Charles Darwin: Victorian Mythmaker by A.N. Wilson

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!
4.5~5★ Link to my Edgware Road review
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.
5★ Link to my review of Recitatif with a link to an article by Zadie Smith.
'Facts *and other lies' by Ed Coper explains the hows & whys of the ascendancy of fake news - and what we can all do about it. An essential readhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
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.5★s

The Nurses' War by Victoria Purman and my latest five star review.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
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.
