Here's my review for
Death in the Dordogne by Martin Walker 4★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
East Texas, murders - one black, one white - racial undertones, black Ranger Darren Mathews investigates - well worth a read! 4/5

Just finished Acqua Alta by Donna Leon #5 in the Brunetti seriesSlowly working my way through this series, the early books are hard to find. This one I had on order from the Library since Nov last year - not because it was so popular it had a long waiting list, but because they couldn't find it!
Enjoyed this one, as always set in Venice, and learned a lot about the acqua alta via google. Always good to learn while enjoying reading
★★★★
Dublin, a long-time missing girl and a dying man who wants some answers - 4/5

4 stars for
Half Moon Lake by Aussie Author Kirsten Alexander. A compelling historical fiction mystery inspired by a true story. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I also just finished The Spotted Dog by Kerry GreenwoodI am going to say something that might be a little controversial - I have always preferred this series to the Phrynne series. There, I said it! But that said, I didn't enjoy this one as much as some of the others. The bread didn't rise as much as it should...
★★★☆
4 stars for
The Lost Girls by Aussie Author Jennifer Spence. Enjoyed this different book, probably best genre for it would be sci fi.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
A handsome, young, American hit-man leaps from the frying pan of the Mob in Philly into the fire of a murder investigation in coastal Australia in Aussie author Dave Warner's River of Salt.

A Plague of Angels by P.F. Chisholm (aka Patricia Finney) is another entertaining adventure with Sir Robert Carey through 16th century London. Plague, jealousy, swordfights - what's not to love?
4.5★ Link to my review
The Soldier's Curse shows 1825 Australia and the British penal colony in Port Macquarie, NSW, warts and all. It's the first of a series that Meg Keneally and her father, Tom Keneally, have planned to bring history to life. I've got to say, I'm sure glad I didn't live then!
3.5★ Link to my review
Just finished The Insanity of Murder by Felicity Young#4 in the series, read it in a day. I like the period setting in this series. We talk today about gender inequality, but I am glad we have come a long way since these times.

Thanks for that Kylie! I love this series and did not know this book was out. I just got myself a copy from Netgalley.
