O by Steven CarrollYou'll always find it with the ISBN Jeanette. I clicked on your review link, then clicked on the cover, then copied and pasted the ISBN and here it is :)
Thanks Brenda, re "O" I did try that but quite obviously on my tablet it wouldn't work and I got cranky. Thanks again. I knew I had read another book from this author, couldn't find that either until just now. smiling!

Zoe Carides narration of Fearless by Aussie author, Fiona Higgins is very well done, especially the multiple accents required. Very enjoyable.5★s

Two great, but very different, audiobooks I've recently finished:Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
and Painting in the Shadows by AA Katherine Kovacic (a great one if you need a Vic or Melbourne read for a challenge)

Even from his short stories, it's clear that Jeffery Deaver is a plotter rather than a pantser. Cause of Death has so many twists and red herrings, it keeps you guessing right to the end.4.5★s

Crocodile on the Sandbank by Elizabeth Petershttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm a fan of picture books that will prompt ongoing conversations between grown-ups and children. Together Again: A Story About Joy by Kochka is about a little boy who's about to burst with anticipation!
4.5★ Link to my review of Together Again with several of the exuberant illustrations
I knew I'd enjoy Elizabeth Strout's latest book, Oh William!, and I was right. She knows people inside and out, and it is a delight to be caught up in her stories. This is Lucy Barton's memoir, but you don't need to have read My Name Is Lucy Barton first. It's a standalone.

Anyone in the mood for a bit of Swedish crime fiction could do worse than the first in the Agent John Adderley series, The Bucket List by Swedish pair, Peter Mohlin and Peter Nystrom. 4.5★s and I will have my hand up for #2 Den andra systern The Other Sister, when it is translated.

2 stars for this contemporary/literary novel by an Aussie Author. Not really for me but others may appreciate. 
Infinite Splendours by Sofie Lagunahttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It was quite addictive to watch the not-so-perfect Adler family fall apart in Canadian author, Robyn Harding's latest domestic drama, The Perfect Family. The kleptomaniac was particularly entertaining.4.5★s

My Name is Anton by Catherine Ryan Hyde will be enjoyed by her fans. I also think younger readers would like this story of a young man in love.
3★ Link to my review of My Name is Anton
I must read more Jeffery Deaver! I enjoyed his latest Amazon Original Story, Cause of Death, which could easily have been deveoped into a novel. While the title may not be unique, the cause of death certainly is.

Sarah Blackstone does an excellent narration of Aussie author Jaye Ford's fourth novel, Already Dead, which vindicates my habit of driving with my doors locked.5★s
