I really like Gregg Olsen's Nicole Foster and Megan Carpenter thriller series, but his new novel not so much.

The Silent Listener by Aussie Author Lyn Yeowarthttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Two Steps Onward, the follow up to Two Steps Forward by husband and wife author team Graeme Simsion and Anne Buist is both a thought-provoking and heart-warming read. Surprises and wise words. I would love to check out the pilgrim hostel this pair designs...5★s

My review for
One Child Alive by Ellery A. Kane, #3 in a series featuring a prison psychologist and a detective, that's really starting to shape up well now the characters are well established. review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Casey Withoos does a brilliant job of narrating Rachael Johns latest novel, How to Mend a Broken Heart. Her rendition of those Louisiana accents is excellent, enough to make this reader swoon.5★s

A while back I read a review praising the audio version of Ann Patchett's The Dutch House, read by actor Tom Hanks. I suggested Wollongong City Libraries order in a copy, which they did, and I have now had the unalloyed pleasure of listening to this wonderful story read by a narrator perfectly suited. Highly recommended!!5★s

German best-selling author, Romy Hausmann's fourth novel, Sleepless is unquestionably a page-turner: readers may wish to pre-book a chiropractic appointment, though...4.5★s

All Mick Herron's books are entertaining, but narrated by the gravel-voiced Seán Barrett, an absolute pleasure to listen to. Real Tigers is best not listened to in the Quiet Carriage on public transport: Herron's dry English humour provides many laugh-out-loud moments.5★s

Aussie/NZ author Jacqueline Bublitz has penned an accomplished debut novel in Before You Knew My Name. The dead narrator might remind you of The Lovely Bones, but the story is very different, topical and thought-provoking. Definitely a 5★ read.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I just finished The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick NessI give it a four star, because I really enjoyed it, as I tend to with this authors writing. While it won the Guardian's Children's Fiction Prize, this creative sci-fi Lite story is not one I found terribly childish. It has some strong questions about humanity and self, and perhaps a bit too much (non-graphic) violence for some people's choice for children's reading.

Valentine is a debut by Elizabeth Wetmore about the dangers for all the women in the West Texas oil country where men are men and women are there to serve.
3.5★ Link to my review of Valentine
Aussie author Paul Starr has used his own experiences as inspiration for Prior Regrets. Does Mark Prior, a young backpacker from England have regrets two decades after his stay in Israel?
