Stalker on the Fens by Joy Ellis is another excellent episode isn this enjoyable seriesreview: 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
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.

Thanks, Patty, I did enjoy it.
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...
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...
Although it deals with some dark themes, this is a fun Regency romance filled with swashbuckling adventure.
The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies by Alison Goodmanreview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4 stars for adventure fantasy
The Burning Page by Genevieve CogmanMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Imitation in Death by J.D. Robb 9/4 3.5★

Murder is a Piece of Cake by Elaine Viets 10/4 3★
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Thank goodness I can count on Irish author John Boyne to write interesting, thought-provoking stories. Earth, the latest in his Elements quartet of linked novels, is up there with the best of them.
My review of Earth
After enjoying Alice Hunter's debut thriller The Serial Killer’s Wife, I was disappointed by her new psychological thriller. While the premise was good, the execution fell short of what it could have been.
