Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 712 comments She's a Killer by Kirsten McDougall
She's a Killer by Kirsten McDougall
A wacky cli-fi satire set in dystopian NZ. Not for everyone, but if you like dark humour, you'll possibly enjoy this.

Carolyn | 9840 comments Zenith Man Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom by McCracken Poston Jr. Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom by McCracken Poston Jr., is a true-life courtroom drama entertainingly written by the lawyer who defended his neurodiverse client accused of murdering the wife no one knew he had.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments Elle Mickel's audio rendition of the aptly-titled third book in the Detective Zoe Mayer series, The Good Dog is excellent, and we can only hope Simon Rowell has more of this cast up his literary sleeve. 4.5★s

PattyMacDotComma | 3299 comments On a completely different note, in The Last Coyote by Michael Connelly, LA Detective Harry Bosch is up against it following the 1994 record-breaking earthquake that wrecked his house. Mind you, that's the least of his problems.

My Father's House (Rome Escape Line Trilogy, #1) by Joseph O'Connor
Based on an inspiring true story, but the writing style just wasn't my cup of tea.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9976 comments I was hooked by the first book in Zoë Sharp's Blake & Byron series, and the 2nd book, The Girl in the Dark is even better. I can't wait to see what this unlikely pair get up to next. 5★s

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 712 comments A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventure by Angela Bell
A Lady's Guide to Marvels and Misadventure by Angela Bell
An entertaining historical romance-adventure. Faith-oriented , especially in the final section, so except if you have a problem with that, I see now reason why you shouldn't read this amazing debut. :)
