The Girl in the Ice, by Robert Bryndza, is the first book in his popular Detective Erika Foster series. It's hard to believe it was the author's debut novel. Great read, with six more to follow.

Beyond That, the Sea by Laura Spence-Ash
An emotional debut work, though not exactly a WWII love story as promised. Worth a read though.

The Secret Scripture, by Sebastian Barry, is the mysterious story of the most beautiful girl in Sligo, Ireland, who has been in a mental institution for decades and is now 100. No wonder Barry was Ireland's Laureate for Irish Fiction. It's terrific.

Taken by Aussie Author Dinuka McKenzieMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Ah, I remember the heady scent of racing fuel at trackside! Young Lewis Hamilton was bitten early by the Grand Prix bug and grew to be the top Formula One driver and a Sir, no less. Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara shows how a talented black kid made good in a white man's sport. 
5★ My review of Lewis Hamilton with illustrations (Yes, we need more electrics.)
It's hardly worth writing a review of Jane Austen's much-loved Pride and Prejudice, is it? But since I finally read it (for a reading challenge), I will admit it has its charms.
4★ My review of Pride and Prejudice
