Sorry Brenda, I accidentally deleted my original post that you linked in. New post with list of books above (sorry!)"
That's easily done! Just one thing - your second one should begin with P and you have it beginning with N. Are you able to sort that without too much trouble? Thanks :)

I finally left the station, although I'm somewhere in the middle of the train! 🤣T The Wife and the Widow by Aussie author Christian White is a suspenseful mystery that takes place on a holiday island in the off-season. No, not the idyllic tropics, but the cold, grey winter off the southern coast of Australia (next stop Antarctica). Loved it!
4.5~5★ My review of The Wife and the Widow
