The last couple of episodes in Patricia Gibney's DI Lottie Parker series have been excellent but this 12th in the series felt overcomplicated to me and the premise weak, although I do seem to be an outlier in this.

A serious, but well written memoir. Triggers for the areas of cults/sexual abuse of children.

If you think the British royal family is in disarray now, just be thankful they aren't burning 'heretics' at the stake. 🔥 You didn't dare be out of favour with King Henry VIII. I love the Matthew Shardlake historical mystery series by C.J. Sansom. Lamentation is #6.
4.5~5★ My review

Ernest Hemingway was known for deceptively simple storytelling that can be surprisingly thought-provoking. This short story takes place late night in a Spanish cafe that is A Clean Well-Lighted Place.

Sean Wilson's Gemini Falls is a small coal-mining town in 1930s Australia where a murder is being investigated near the shacks of depression-era homeless families, camped by the river. Obvious suspects, of course. 
3★ My review of Gemini Falls

He might have cast away the magic-realism from his previous two novels but I think it's his best yet.
