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!

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.

The Book of Doors by Gareth Brown
I loved this magical fantasy-thriller so much! Way more than most of my friends did! It's always fun to be an outlier on the positive side. :D

Things She Would Have Said Herself by Catherine Therese 8/4 3★

Day was my introduction to Pulitzer-Prize-winning-author Michael Cunningham, and I'm keen for more.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
“A lot of people who aren’t Native don’t know this story,“ said Pulitzer Prize winner Tommy Orange about his second book, Wandering Stars. Now there's no excuse for not knowing about the Florida prisons and boarding schools where the Southern Cheyenne were sent.
My review of Wandering Stars
The Last Word by Elly Griffiths is an entertaining addition to this series, although it didn't succeed in delighting me as much as the first three books in the series.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Maid of Steel by Kate Baker
A good debut that could have been great had it reduced the number of topics. Still, might be interesting to historical fiction readers as it covers plenty of events from 1911-12 Ireland.

From Hell
⭐⭐⭐ stars
#audible #sci-fi #creaturefeature #thriller
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.

Earth by John Boyne, the second novella in his Elements quartet, is a masterful and sensitively written novella about power, love and betrayal in relationships. my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
What a delightful romp Isabel Allende has written for Amazon Original Stories! Lovers at the Museum has an irritable cop, impulsive lovers, and a magical museum experience.
