Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments Well, I must say that I didn't expect to laugh so much reading P.D. Viner's latest thriller, The Call. Don your disbelief suspenders and just enjoy the rollercoaster ride.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments It took me a while, because I had to read the first three of the series, but I finally got to the fourth book in Aussie author, Robert Gott's Holiday Murders series, The Orchard Murders. Very atmospheric, but he did kill off someone I quite liked, a la Mick Herron.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I may be considerably older than the target readership for Aussie author, Monica McInerney's first book for children, Marcie Gill and the Caravan Park Cat, but I enjoyed it immensely. Utterly charming!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments The blurb and the cover of Geo, by American author, Topher Allen got me in, and it was pretty good up to about three quarters, but 30% action scenes was an overdose for me: I skimmed to the end. Might translate well to animated cartoon.
3.5★s

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments I loved the print version of Aussie author Richard Anderson's latest novel, Small Mercies, and I'm pleased to say that Nicholas Osmond is the perfect narrator for this moving, topical tale.

3 stars, spies and billionaires, such an alternative world to my own.

Carolyn | 9836 comments Her Hidden Genius by Marie Benedict Her Hidden Genius by Marie Benedict is a novel based on the life of Rosalind Franklin who was instrumental in collecting the data Watson & Crick used without her knowledge to develop their Nobel Prize winning model of the DNA helix. It's well done and a good read if you enjoy historical fiction based on on real people.

Carolyn | 9836 comments You Had It Coming by B.M. Carroll You Had It Coming by AA B.M. Carroll (aka Ber Carroll) is a thoughtful, well written crime novel featuring the murder of a barrister skilled at getting acquittals for those accused of rape. It looks at the repercussions of such trials and the effect on the lives of this involved.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments When I started Fancy Meeting You Here, I didn’t really like the protagonist all that much, so it says a lot that Ali Berg and Michelle Kalus were able to win me over to rating this one 5★s.

Andrea | 2163 comments Garry Disher's latest, The Way it is Now, is a good choice of holiday read. I opted for the audiobook edition, which gets a big thumbs up.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9973 comments Rebecca Soler's narration of the first book in Marissa Meyer's Gilded series, Gilded is excellent, and I do hope that we don't have to wait too long for the sequel.
