Yes. Set in Sydney,it's fascinating to see how another author deals with the locations and action.
Mod
That's another one I have lined up on my Kindle. Must read faster!

Mod
She's a great author. Thanks, Brenda :)
Peter Corris is awesome and the Godfather of Australian crime writing these days.

Finished reading Cold Justice by Katherine Howell

Mod
Thanks Brenda. She most definitely is and I'm so glad I started with the beginning of the series as you suggested :)
Mod
Mod
I've only got a couple of Vicki's to read after this one :(
Mod
She better get a wriggle on in that case ;) When is it suppose to be released?
Mod
LOL Pressure, pressure. But... but with over a thousand books between you on your to-read shelves, I don't think I need to worry. ;-PRemind me to tell you about the true crime that inspired Brittle Shadows -- not that it resembles the case in the slightest.
Mod
Don't listen to Brenda :) I'm cracking the whip here lol (write faster please)
Brenda wrote: "lol! No you don't need to worry:) And the worst part is, it'll only take a little while to read it, then we'll be waiting AGAIN!!!!"That vicious circle. ;-)

Mod
Absolutely gobsmacked by The Locked Room by Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö. They should be better known in the Anglo-sphere - the original Scandinavian crime writers. What a brilliant plot!
Mod
The Locked Room by Maj Sjöwall

Thanks, Brian. I'll certainly let you know what I think once I get around to reading them :)
Finished reading : The Perfect Husband by Lisa Gardner
5★Fantastic read :)
My review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Must stop reading your reviews. The Perfect Husband has just claimed the 201st spot on my to-reads list. At the rate I'm going, I'll be 101 before I get to it. :)

Now I know what hermits really do with their time (hide in a cave with a Kindle and read all day and all night).
Mod
Haha! Not sure that would work without a powerpoint to charge their kindle David;P
Solar power! That's what I use to charge my Kindle and phone when we're in the wilds. ;-P
Mod
This one works very well and is about the same size as a phone:http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/au...
Can also charge it from the mains.
David, we spend quite a bit of time in the bush, so I see it as a necessity. Ever had a phone go flat when you need it most? :)

And if you're in the middle of nowhere. possibly life-threatening.
