The Slate by Matthew FitzSimmons is a fast paced political thriller featuring a retired political fixer who must rescue her young tenant from a possible scandal. Fun to read with a US election looming!

Candice Fox is known for her thriller novels, but this short audio story, Hunting Game is presented as an entertaining radio play, sound effects and all. Kidnappers have grabbed the young son of a greedy Big Pharma mogul, hated by the entire nation.

My review of The Hunting Game

[PattyMacDotComma]

Just finished the latest full-length thriller from Candice Fox - an outback doozy - High Wire. What a complex, dark imagination she has!

I'm a bit late to the party with Elizabeth Strout's books, but I'm catching up. 5★s for The Burgess Boys, and looking forward to my next dip into her work.

Three Wild Dogs and the Truth by AA Markus Zusak is going to be one of my top reads of 2024. Highly recommended.

The Whisper Sister: A Novel by Jennifer S. Brown

That bland cover almost made me miss this book. Thanks to a friend's glowing 5 star review that brought it on my radar. This is one of the best historical fiction works I have read in months!

A Good Place to Hide a Body is a very entertaining cosy crime novel by Laura Marshall. 4.5★s
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Sandysbookaday (taking a step back for a while)]

Prey by Vanda Symon features sins of the past, but probably not the ones you are expecting . . . ⭐⭐⭐.7 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

The Beforelife of Eliza Valentine by Laura Pearson

Had I empathized with the characters' actions, I might have rated this even higher. But it is still a memorable read with a novel plot idea.

Staged by Elle Cosimano is the first of six Amazon Original Stories in the light-hearted #BusybodiesCollection featuring amateur sleuths. A body spoils this real estate agent's groomed carpet, so she starts looking for clues.
My review of Staged

These are still available until the end of October on NetGalley.

What a delight to listen to Adjoa Andoh tell Alexander McCall Smith's children's story of Precious and the Monkeys, Precious Ramotswe's Very First Case. She is only seven, but already in training for her No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency.

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Three distinct graphic novels with somewhat distinct outcomes:
1. Turtle Bread: A Graphic Novel About Baking, Fitting In, and the Power of Friendship by Kim-Joy

Adult graphic novel, but feels YA. The author is a baker, so the baking content is great;. The rest, not so much.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

2. Ellie in First Position: A Graphic Novel by Brian Freschi

Middle-grade graphic novel. Could have been great but ended up just okay.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

3. Blasfamous by Mirka Andolfo

Strictly for adults. Mindblowing but also horrifying. Not recommended to conservative believers.

Hidden on the Fens by Joy Ellis is another excellent addition to this series with great characters and a lot of intriguing crime going on in the small fenland villages.
