Gone Tonight by Sarah Pekkanen is a slow burn suspense about a young woman who discovers her mother is not telling the truth about her background and the reason she had to leave her home town. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I guess I’m an outlier with My Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez: an average rating of 4★s on GoodReads, but I just couldn’t connect with these protagonists. 2.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Whose Samosa is it anyway?: The Story of where 'Indian' food really came from by Sonal Ved
Not exactly like the title suggests. But a good read for (food) history lovers.

The Woods Are Waiting by Katherine Greene
Fab cover and atmosphere. Nothing else works.

The Long Game by Ann Leckie is another quirky and still topical sci-fi short story about people and humans - two different things.

I just finished
The Chipilly Six: Unsung heroes of the Great War by Lucas JordanI loved it. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Killer Traitor Spy
is a very current Aussie thriller in former journalist Tim Ayliffe's Greater Good series. It's not just Reds under the bed anymore! It's a big world and it's full of spiesI love the series, but this would be just as good as a standalone.
My review of Killer Traitor Spy
The Housekeepers by Alex Hay
This made me realise that heist stories are better watched than read. A decent debut though.

Just finished The Welsh Linnet
by aussie author A.J. LyndonSolid 4 stars from me. My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I loved Katherine Heiny's latest book, Games and Rituals: Stories. Unconnected stories ranging from imagining who taught Ted Bundy to drive (yikes!) to worrying if your wife's Marie Kondo decluttering is going to turf you out next. (Do you still spark joy?!) Thought-provoking as well as entertaining.
My review of Games and Rituals
a well told small NSW town mystery, 'Lowbridge' by Lucy Campbell is an excellent debut.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I think a few readers in this group would enjoy this novel about two women hiding from the world who have to band together to fight for their homes.
