My review of The Cleanskin by Laura Bloomhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Set in the beautiful country town of Mullumbimby.
Certainly had me googling to find more information on the IRA
Finished no. 7 in the Inspector Sejer series The Water's Edge
by Karin FossumRated it 5 stars. A good read, the detectives work a lot more of the plot in this book than the earlier ones.
The Lake House by Aussie author Kate Morton is another of her very long, multi-generational family stories full of mysterious disappearances, possible crimes, and colourful characters.4★ It is long, but true to Morton form, and I enjoyed it (but admit to some impatience).

3.5★ for Friday Brown by Aussie author Vikki Wakefield, who's painted a scary picture of life on the streets when a teen is at loose ends.It's a YA for older kids, since there is death and conflict.
It was more suspense/thriller than mystery, I think, although I shelve them together.

3* Sinister Intentby Karen M. Davis
Plot twists all telegraphed well in advance, but an ok pass the time read.
I have just finished
by Sharon Bolton and I have to say it is one of the best books I have read this year! It was also my 50th book for 2016 which completes my reading challenge for 2016.

Currently reading The Tourist, a book I won through Goodreads. Had mixed reviews. Most saying it was confusing, so I deliberately slowed down my reading style and it reads much better than the one or two star ratings suggest. It is a combination of genres, set in the past, future and their present and combination of cultures could be confusing if you rush.

This was GREAT! Cyanide Games: A Peter Tanner Thriller. Recommended! 5 stars! My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Just finished a short free novella from Australian author Sulari Gentill, author of the Rowland Sinclair mystery series set in the 1930s. I love all the books in this series, and this short piece, "The Prodigal Son", is a sweet introduction. As a special treat it includes beautiful artwork by this talented author. You can download the PDF from here: http://www.rowlandsinclairnovella.com
Just finished the 7th in the D.D. Warren series Fear Nothing
by Lisa GardnerWOW - Gave it 5 stars - Medical conditions I did not know existed.
Loving this author and this series, at this stage only 1 more - still have 2 of the Tessa Leonie series, then the FBI profiler series.
Keep me occupied for a while.

This is the first Bolitar book I have read for quite a few years. It is written from the pov of sidekick Win. Enjoyed it. 4*
3.5★ for L.J. Ross's fourth book in the series Angel: A DCI Ryan Mystery.Bodies of red-heads appear in graveyards, but somebody has sneaked them in, and nobody knows why or how. And one of our favourite coppers is a lovely redhead!

Now finished reading The Tourist. It failed badly at the end. I was intrigued at first but the last part was so disappointing I ended up giving it a 1 star rating.

Great writing and gripping story as usual by this author.
Almost read it in 1 sitting, but I had to get some sleep.
Rated it 5 stars.
2 more in the DD Warren series, then the 2nd and 3rd of the Tessa Leonie series.
