Sarah | 385 comments Here's my review of Arthur W. Upfield's rather notorious 1931 Australian classic, The Sands Of Windee. An entertaining and evocative read.

Carolyn | 2078 comments Jonas Flynt is the honourable thief of the title, a swashbuckling ex- soldier and spy taxed with retrieving a missing document in Jacobite England and Scotland. Very enjoyable historical fiction.

Carolyn | 2078 comments My review of debut novel Gemini Falls by Sean Wilson Gemini Falls by AA Sean Wilson, an engrossing murder mystery set in the 1930s during the Great Depression and the polio epidemic in a small Australian rural town. Told from the point of view of a thirteen year old boy, it's also a coming of age story and a tale of dysfunctional families.

Sarah | 385 comments Here's my (horribly belated) review of A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon. I was granted an audiobook edition for review by NetGalley UK. The narration by Lissa Berry was superb. This was such a fun read/listen - writing the review has made me want to go back and listen to the whole story again!

Carolyn | 2078 comments I struggled a bit with the theme of this one about a mother whose child has been missing for six years, but it might appeal more to others who enjoy psychological suspense.

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments It's impossible to figure out who all The Liars are in Aussie author Petronella McGovern's new small town mystery. From colonial crimes to more recent rapes and disappearances, it seems nobody is safe and anybody could be under suspicion.
