White Throat by Sarah Thornton is the second book in her entertaining Aussie mystery series featuring disgraced lawyer Clementine Jones. It can be read as a stand alone but I'd recommend starting with the first in the series, Lapsereview: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Here is my 5 star review for a police procedural/crime thriller: Breathe Your Last
by Lisa Regan.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I read the 4th book in Charlie Garratt's Inspector James Given series, Where Every Man, and I'm sure readers of the earlier books would like this one, where he is facing the fast-approaching Nazis in France in 1938.
3.5★ Link to my review of Where Every Man
I also read the 4th book in Graham Brack's delightful Master Mercurius mystery series. Mercurius is a 17th century Dutch minister/priest/university lecturer who has a talent for investigation. The Noose's Shadow is another entertaining adventure!

Finished a cosy mystery, first in a new series, called Grounds for Murder by Tara Lush
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
What do you get when you mix a legal thriller with a medical thriller and add a bit of romance and subtle Christian overtones? You get a fantastic novel: Lethal Intent
by Cara C. Putman.It was filled with lots of hope, warmth, love, friendship and romance against a backdrop of treachery, crimes, ethical dilemmas, arrogance, secrets and more. If you enjoy suspenseful legal and medical thrillers with a bit of romance, then I recommend that you check out this novel and see if you enjoy it as much as I did.

I finished an enjoyable paranormal cozy mystery set in and around a picturesque library in small town Wilford, Oregon: Bait and Witch
by Angela M. Sanders.My 4 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Jane Harper's Tasmanian coast in The Survivors is just as compelling as her outback in The Dry and The Lost Man. Evelyn Bay is such a small town that it's almost a locked room mystery. Loved it!
