Aussie journalist and author Tim Ayliffe's John Bailey is the war-weary journo who discovers what working for The Greater Good really means. Dirty politicians, spies, criminals. Murder in contemporary Sydney. Love it!

Here's my review of April in Spain by John Banville, the 8th in his Quirke series, but the first published under his own name (the previous titles have been marketed under his pseudonym Benjamin Black). This book also features D.I. St. John Strafford from Snow.

Stephen King is known for his horror thrillers, but this is just a good story about a ghost, stranded in the Horror House of the amusement park, Joyland. It's just what I felt like reading!

Tim Winton is one of Australia's best and most-awarded authors and an all-time favourite of mine. An Open Swimmer was his first novel, written when he was still at uni, and his writing was already magic. I had some trouble with the story.

Here are my two reviews of Lemon by Kwon Yeo-Sun, an intriguing novella set in South Korea. It's literary fiction, but also straddles the mystery/crime genre.
