Don't Laugh, It'll Only Encourage Her by Daisy May CooperMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
With two less-than-stellar current reads, I'm pleased that my audio book, a reread of What You Are Looking For Is in the Library by Michiko Aoyama, is as delightful as I remember. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
4.5 stars for
Dark Corners by Aussie Author Megan GoldinMy review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Ashley Tate's debut novel, Twenty-Seven Minutes, isn't one I can recommend. 3★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
While I'm clearly of the wrong vintage for No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood, it does reinforce for me that a nomination for the Man Booker Prize or the Womens' Prize for Fiction is no guarantee of a great read. 1.5★s from this Boomer.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review of
The Gathering by C.J. Tudor, a spine tingling paranormal thriller.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
André Aciman's novella, with its intriguing title, The Gentleman From Peru, is an entrancing read. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Time Travelling with a Tortoise, Ross Welford's sequel to Time Travelling with a Hamster was the perfect antidote for the few mediocre books I've just read. 5★s for this fun tale.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Arsenic Eater's Wife by Tonya Mitchell
A historical fiction based on an actual 1890s case where a woman was arrested for killing her husband. A compelling work, despite a slightly OTT finish.

For fans of Wallander and those of us who enjoy an Australian connection to Scandi noir

My review for The Last Voyage of Mrs Henry Parker by Joanna Nell
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Killer on the Fens is my favourite in the series so far. I'm so glad I took a chance on this series when I found many of the earlier books free on Audible.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The White Cockatoo Flowers is a collection by Ouyang Yu that is likely to have diverse ethnic appeal. 3.5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My review of
The Good Teacher by Petronella McGovern. So far this year I've read about a Good Turn, a Good Dog and now it's a Teacher that's "good". 2024 has been so far, so good.https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Diabolical
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stars
#netgalley #reviewcopy #Thriller
New author for me. 11th book in series. Standalone reading. Good story. Interested me enough to search for other titles by the author.
