I read it because he's Aussie and the book is set in Australia, where I think his others are set in London or there abouts... and when I enjoyed it so much, I decided to read more. But haven't yet! I listened to him speak at the Newcastle Writers Festival earlier in the year:)

I've read more books (19) in the past month than I’ve read all year. It does help that I had no phone, no internet and a wood fire to curl up in front of. I won't bore you with them all, but here's some of my favs:Dark Horse by Honey Brown Brilliant Australian suspense -- my favourite read of the year so far.

Death on Demand by Paul Thomas
Kiwi author Paul Thomas is a Ned Kelly award winner and it's not hard to see why. Warning: If you're offended by strong language don't read this/

The Kult by Shaun Jeffrey
This one had been on my to-read list since 2011. I think the title and the horror label put me off, but it's more dark thriller than horror and a great story.

Murder in Suburbia: Disturbing Stories from Australia's Dark Heart by Emily Webb
Australian true crime and highly recommended.

Goodreads is bad for me. Or at least my to-read list. I need to be on a permanent holiday if I expect to make more than dent in my list.
So I don't know whether to thank you, Sharon, or hit you. ;-)
Started reading The Never List by Koethi Zan
I'm really enjoying this one. I think it's going to be a late night for me tonight :)

Now reading"Finished 3/5 Did not enjoy this book as much as the other books I have read from this author. I got the twist of the story from the moment Larry met Stephanie. Really! coning cons to go on a game show, would they really be that stupid? All in all not bad, an easy read.
Brenda wrote: "Joanne wrote: "
Now reading"Sounds interesting!
Glad you enjoyed Gone too Joanne:)"
Good choice Brenda
Started reading : Silent Fear by Katherine Howell
