The last of my weekend mystery and thriller reads was great fun!
Killing Me by Michelle Gagnonreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Girl on the 88 Bus by Freya Sampson
Earlier published in the US as 'The Lost Ticket'. A mixed bag for me, slightly tilted towards the positive side.

My review for Birnam Wood by my birth country's most feted living writer Eleanor Catton. I hate to say it but it's a dud. The premise has so much promise. The execution was abysmal.

I finished

The Soulmate by Aussie Author Sally HepworthMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Black River by Nilanjana Roy
An interesting Indian noir. Pretty good, but would have been great had the author stuck to the crime investigation elements in the plot rather than trying too much.

Stalin's Wine Cellar was a great Australian non-fiction read! I particularly enjoyed the audio, as I sometimes get bogged down when I'm reading text with lots of unfamiliar foreign words.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
