AA Lenny Bartulin's latest novel The Unearthed is a quick but rewarding read. I loved it.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Saboteur is a very short story about a man who is arrested for no good reason and finds an unexpected way to deal with it. Great little read!
My review of Saboteur with a link to the story online
Garry Disher is a favourite Aussie author whose offbeat Wyatt series features the crook. In Deathdeal, while avoiding his main enemies in Melbourne and Sydney, Wyatt is summoned to Queensland to pull off a job. I reckon you could read these out of order. 
My review of Deathdeal

I always enjoy Matt Brolly's DI Louise Blackwell series and this sixth addition to the series is another fast paced mystery.

Sci-fi, mystery. Void by Veronica Roth is an entertaining short story about the murder of a tourist in space. 
My review of Void
Seacrow Island is a delightful middle grade read by famous Swedish children’s author Astrid Lindgren. It is presumably set in the 1950s or the 1960s when it was written and takes place on an island in the Stockholm archipelago, off the coast of Sweden, where the Melkerson family go to spend their summer in a ramshackle cottage by the beach and have some adventures. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ here is my review

Now I am regretting not grabbing this one while it was still available. I had hated his anthology and had hence decided not to risk reading this. Time for a change of mind!
