Brooke - One Woman's Brief Book Reviews (onewomansbbr) | 781 comments 4 stars for *crime/satire humour* Identity Crisis by Ben Elton Identity Crisis by Ben Elton.

While I enjoyed this it definitely won't be to everyone's taste and I'd recommend trying an older satire novel from this author before picking this up.

The Messenger by Markus Zusak 4.5★ Link to my review

Scared Yet? is excellent if you enjoy thrillers :)

PattyMacDotComma | 813 comments It was a treat to re-read One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson. I liked it even better than before. First published in 2007, it was re-released along with the rest of the Jackson Brodie series to get us warmed up for #5.
One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson 5★ Link to my new review
