Yes, not available in Aust bookshops till then but available in US in hardcover only. I'm not sure about ebook versions.

I wasn't sure what date to put because Aust and US have different release dates. These are the dates from the publisher; GR has differing dates??? Your advice is welcome here, Brenda:)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Just put the date the book is being released here Bette, as we are predominantly an Aussie group:) Also it'd be great if you could put the genre beside the book too - thanks:)

These two sound quite good, Brenda. A few more for the list. Think I've only read one by Lisa Scottoline which was a long time ago :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

I haven't read many of hers either, but have really liked what I've read:)

[Sharon]

Good to know for when I run out of authors which I'm sure won't be long ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Really? I thought you had plenty to keep you going ;)

[Sharon]

No starting to run low ;)

I've not read anything by [author:Karin Slaughter
Which one would you recommend I start with, Brenda?

Yes if you think of more just let me know :)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Check out her page Sharon; she has two series - Grant County and Will Trent. Grant County came first and they blend, so I would suggest you read the first which is Blindsighted

There are quite a lot of them, but she's a great writer:)

[Sharon]

Thanks Brenda. Oh my she has written quite a lot that will keep me busy ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

And they're good to read in order too, as the characters grow over the course the series, and you have the same main characters throughout. Enjoy!

Ooooh, I can't wait for this! It sounds like it will be the link between the Cousins' War series and the Tudor series, too, very interesting!

You got me excited for a moment because I love a new Tess Gerritson. However these are old books being rehashed :(

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Yes I know what you mean! I got all excited too, then let down badly;) But I figured there would be others out there who might like to have them both in the one volume :)
