A tantalising read . . .
A Stranger in the Family by Jane Casey ⭐⭐⭐⭐.4 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Poor old Harry Bosch. Alone again in Trunk Music, but at least Michael Connelly has given him plenty of action to keep him busy. An L.A. murder leads him to Las Vegas, and you know what that means.

Great World-building
A Couple of Surprises at the end
5 star review of Horrorstor: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."Horrorstor" is a must-read for anyone who enjoys a good scare with a side of side-splitting humor. It captures the atmosphere of a Scooby-Doo episode where not everything is as it seems, but with a horror twist. Think R.L. Stine or Goosebumps-level chills, coupled with the eerie, otherworldly vibes of the Upside Down from Stranger Things. It's a cute, fun, and delightfully quick read – easily devoured in one sitting.
If like me you enjoy murder mysteries set in Alaska, this is a good one.

Thanks for posting this review.
I have never read Lucinda Riley because I don't read normally historical fiction, but I love police procedurals and legal/medical thrillers. I know Riley as a fab writer by reputation but thanks to your tip will try this one as it is in my zone and sample her writing in the process.
Adding to my TBR and getting the book.
Thanks again.
And sorry, almost forgot in the excitement, Great review. :)

The perfect blend of romance and Australian outback mystery/crime thriller!
The Grazier's Son by Cathryn Hein ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I haven't read everything (yet) that much-loved Aussie author Garry Disher has written, but I can recommend everything I have, and his brand new standalone novel, Sanctuary, is right up there. Grace Latimer is a crook. Well, yes, but she has reasons - give her a break!
My review of Sanctuary
I read A Good Life by Virginie Grimaldi. It is literary fiction, translated from French. My 3.5 star review, rounded up. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Everywhere You Look by Liv Constantine is the first of six Amazon Original Stories in their Never Tell collection. Secrets and lies abound. I hope I enjoy the next ones more than this.
My review of Everywhere You Look(They're published separately, so you can take your pick.)
💫💫💫💫💫and if I could give it more stars, I would!
If I Should Lose You by Natasha Lester https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
An addictive read I finished in less than 24 hours!
Sanctuary by Garry Disher ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Four of the 6 are potentially wonderful books. I'm on the fence with one...The Minotaur Sampler, Volume 11: New Books to Make Your Heart Race

Love the author and his books but this the #8 th book in the series has been the weakest so far considering there are a couple of novellas in between too.
#awesome concept and start. Slows down in between.
