Catherine Ryan Hyde is an automatic go-to author for many readers, but I wonder what they will make of A Different Kind of Gone. I think it's one that book clubs wll enjoy discussing.
My review of A Different Kind of Gone
One of the Good Guys by Araminta Hall is a topical, thought-provoking and compelling read, and the audio is excellent. 4★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm late to the party with J.D. Robb's In Death series, but still finding it entertaining and addictive. 5★s for Rapture in Deathhttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review here - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Language of Love - A Flirty, Festive Anthology by various authors.
A mixed bag for me, though this is mainly due to my romance reading preferences.

Don't Forget Me by Rea Frey ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Callous characters, trial by internet, what happens after Nina disappears is entertainingly controversial

A heartwarming story of family, love and loyalty.

My review of
Indulgence in Death by J.D. Robb, #31 (ie. 1/2 way) in this always entertaining serieshttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I enjoyed Detective Zoe Mayer's latest murder investigation with her service dog, Harry, aka The Good Dog. I'm sure he is one of Simon Rowell's most popular characters. What's not to love?
My review of The Good Dog
I like short stories, especially those that have a connection, so I enjoyed Winter Lights by Deborah Jenkins. These take place in Sussex, UK, at Christmastime, with characters ranging from old-money posh to an Indian migrant running a restaurant.
My review of Winter Lights
The Women by Kristin Hannah
Expected my first Kristin Hannah book to be a 5 star experience. This is going to count as one of the biggest disappointments of 2024. :(
