A new favourite Aussie thriller for my bookshelf! If you need more than my enthusiasm, Lee Child called Michael Trant's latest novel, Wild Dogs "Tough, fast and hard – my kind of book." It is also a completely authentic, Aussie outback story. I'm with Lee on this one.
5★ My review of Wild Dogs

I've finished Cozy Up to Trouble by Colin Conway https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

See Them Die, by Michael Fowler, introduces forensic psychologist Dr. Hamlet Mottrell, who is lying in a hospital bed with bandaged wrists, accused of slaughtering his family. Not a bad start for a new psychological mystery series

What a genre-busting delight The Nancys is! NZ author R.W.R. McDonald's debut is a funny, amateur-sleuth mystery with bright, young Tippy Chan and her over-the-top gay uncle and his beau.
4★ My review of The Nancys

Finishing out the week with Uneasy Prey by Annette Dashofy https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Reading a Detective Book Club hardcover omnibus containing two mysteries published in 1965 and one published in 1970 (per Goodreads although the title page says that all were published in 1965). On the fifth floor of the office building in which I work is a shelf on which people place their unwanted or already-read books. It's a lending library of sorts on the honor system: take a book you'd like to read, read it and put it back when you're done. Edit: the three books are The house on K street by Lionel White; The Mind Readers by Margery Allingham; and Police Blotter by Robert L. Pike.

I finished my book called One of Us Is Next by Karen M. McManus

I loved The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes about a man whose memory is as fallible as everyone's. Wonderful story with an ending that has generated a lot of discussion since it won the Booker Prize in 2011.
