I loved Robbi Neal's latest, With Winter Comes Darkness even more than Connie Star. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I was glad to hear Aussie author and former journo Tim Ayliffe say he plans to continue his John Bailey series in and around Sydney. I just enjoyed the latest, #5, The Wrong Man. I know those parts of Sydney but luckily not the dangerous kinds of people Bailey gets mixed up with.
My review of The Wrong Man
One for the kids 6 - 10 years.Kelpie Chaos by Deb Fitzpatrick

The Same Bright Stars by Ethan Joella
This book doesn't disappoint! Ethan Joella is one of the few male authors to write characters' emotions so well.

Thistles and Thieves by Molly MacRae
No rating. Giving up on this. All talk and not enough action. Characters just waffle on. Persisted as long as I could, waiting for it to get better. It didn’t. Could be me at the moment so others may like it. But not for this reader.

Tell Me Everything by Elizabeth Strout is another lovely episode in the life of characters we've come to know so well. I really enjoy Strout's insightful writing about ordinary people and their everyday lives.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Wrong Man by Tim Ayliffe, is a terrific addition to his investigative reporter, John Bailey series. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
This is one for someone looking for a sweet romance read without all the angst. Spring Clean for the Peach Queen by Sasha Wasley
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It sounds macabre when a police archaelogist draws a map of an area in LA where old remains are found and titles it a City of Bones, but it makes perfect sense in Michael Connelly's 8th Harry Bosch novel. Another great read.
My review of City of Bones
The Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie 6/7 4★

No Job for a Girl by Meredith Appleyard 7/7 4★

My review of A Silken Thread by Kim Vogel Sawyer
4 and a half stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
With Easter Island, you really do get what it says on the cover. Lots of fascinating detail wrapped around a dual-timeline mystery of sorts.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Paris Widow by Kimberly Belle is a suspenseful thriller, where a woman discovers she doesn't really know the man she married.review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Peter Swanson's Lily Kintner/Henry Kimball series is so addictive. 5★s for #3, A Talent for Murder.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
