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.

by Lisa Black:https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Mystery
Overall, this riveting story arc immediately grabbed my attention and kept me engaged throughout the book. Readers interested in all aspects of forensics ranging from fingerprinting to genealogical tracing and much more will find something of interest in this book. I found it fascinating, but a little too detailed at times.
Fans of police procedurals will enjoy The Raging Storm.

I read ALASKA DEADLY: A Novel by J.L. Askew It is a private eye mystery set in Alaska. I read it in 2 days and recommend it to Alaska crime/private eye fans. My 4 star review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
As the title suggests,
The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies
is an amusing historical fiction about the daring adventures of twin aristocratic sisters who risk more than their reputations to rescue women living in desperately awful circumstances. Fun, but also dark.
My review of ...ill-mannered Ladies
