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

Four stars for me for this one, a solid debut.
by Australian Petronella McGovernMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
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.

My review of debut novel
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.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Enjoyable short story collection. 4 stars from 5

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!

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.

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.
3★ My review of The Liars
Enjoyable second series outing. 4 stars from 5
