4 stars for this domestic drama/romance by an Aussie Author

Robert Bryndza's first stand-alone thriller
Fear the Silence is an action packed psychological suspense. Quite different to his Erika Foster series and may need some suspension of belief but nevertheless thrilling!review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

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.

Thank you, Brenda. I have updated the app but feel like I am missing something as there is no option to ‘add’ or ‘reply’ ?
Ahhh you're using the app!! Unfortunately the app is pretty useless for doing extras like that :( Laptop, tablet....
Matt Brolly's sixth addition to his DI Louise Blackwell series is another intriguing fast paced mystery.

Bronwyn Hall's second novel
The Chasm is another thrilling mystery, this time set in the Victorian mountains.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Sci-fi, mystery. Void by Veronica Roth is an entertaining short story about the murder of a tourist in space.
My review of Void
I finished listening to Blowing the Bloody Doors Off: And Other Lessons in Life by Michael Caine - 3.5*.It was easy and enjoyable to listen to Caine read this memoir. Lots of insights and examples of what he learned to be successful.

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.
