Book Review of The Mysterious Affair of Judith Potts
“The three of you caught a killer by communicating via a cryptic crossword?” This was one of the most layered and enjoyable Marlow Murder Club mysteries, with two mysteries to solve, and some series-long questions answered. At the end of the previous book, Judith received a knock on her door and the illegitimate daughter of the husband she may or may not have contributed to the death of, stands…

Book Review of Mad Mabel
I had written Sally Hepworth off as someone who wrote fairly light basic novels and so was surprised to see Mad Mabel receive rave reviews. This was definitely a step forward from her other work – the type of book that shows us how she might develop as a writer. The novel’s greatest strength is Mabel herself. She’s prickly, stubborn and occasionally difficult, but Hepworth reveals her so…

Book Review of The Man Who Died Seven Times
I cant quite remember where I came across this, but I chose it on a whim and had it in my Audible account for months before listening to it. Despite some unusual reviews on Goodreads, I found The Man Who Died Seven Times unique and charming. It is on the cosier end of a murder mystery, made more fascinating by the fact that our narrator Hisataro has a peculiar affliction – every so often he…

Book Review of a New Kind of Beautiful
It takes a deft hand to write good YA fiction. You need to balance an engaging storyline with messages appropriate for young adult readers, so while it can – and should – tackle serious issues, it must present them with a sense of hope. Suzy Zail balances this line well with A New Kind of Beautiful, a book that explores losing your sight. Her teenage protagonist, Paige Wilding, is an artist –…

Book Review of Three Reasons for Revenge
I didn’t really enjoy this latest Dervla McTiernan, which had too much in common with 2024’s What Happened to Nina? It’s hard to engage with a thriller where you know who the murderer is from halfway through the novel… so there’s no mystery just SOME tension. Judith Lee is a toughened police investigator – and when Alexis Turner walks in to report a psychologist who has sexually assaulted her…

Book Review of Whistler
Ann Patchett’s Tom Lake was my absolute favourite read of 2023, so while I wasn’t immediately drawn to the concept behind Whistler, I thought I might give it a try on audio. After so many disappointing books sold to me (by social media admittedly) as must-reads, I was delighted to find Whistler full of charm. I delightfully absorbed it in a few days and currently have it second only to The…

Book Review of What Kind of Paradise
Recently I had three must-reads on my bedside table – each of which I had gone out of my way to buy after hearing such consistently good reports. On the Calculation of Volume I was slow. I wanted to continue the journey conceptually but ended up abandoning the second book. The Road to Tender Hearts was weak. And for the full three out of three, What Kind of Paradise was a missed…

Book Review of The Correspondent
I tried to read this book last year in hard copy and couldn’t get into it. Then I kept seeing people posting rave reviews and specifically mentioning the audio version, so I thought I might give it another try. I’m so glad I did. Like the main character herself, this is a book that deepens as you get to know it. I haven’t been so moved by a book in a long time. Sybil van Antwerp is a woman…

Book Review of The Road to Tender Hearts
This one was a bit “meh” for me. I came across it on a lot of people’s top recommendation lists and I actually went to a great deal of trouble to grab a copy – it’s really hard to get in Australia. And while it’s sweet – it just didn’t really make me feel anything. There’s an old man who inherits a couple of children who are distant relatives he has never met. But he’s about to travel cross…

The Eye of the Bedlam Bride (DCC Book #6)
I’ve talked a lot about how entertaining and detailed the Dungeon Crawler Carl books are – and deservedly so. Matt Dinniman has created a completely absorbing world of real and fascinating characters who face moral quandaries that would break us all. What I don’t talk enough about is the real heart of these books – beyond the quirky AI and the feet jokes and the crazy quests. This series is…

Book Review of A Deadly Episode
These Anthony Horowitz books in which he himself is a character are always a reliable delight, although this is probably not one of his stronger ones. It jumps around a little and with two cases to solve (intertwined of course) it’s not as focused as usual. That being said, the charm is in the narration. Horowitz casts himself as a bumbling sidekick, somewhat resentful, to a real-life…

Book Review of The Naturals
You cannot ignore the phenomenon of Jennifer Lynn Barnes’ The Inheritance Games (although you can like me, read one and figure that will tell you all you need to know about the series. They are highly plotted, exciting and will no doubt expand on the love triangle that is hinted at in the first book. I could imagine they are a bit “rinse and repeat” though. I picked up The Naturals as it…

Book Review of Strange Pictures
It looks like I have read these Uketsu books out of order – as Strange Pictures is far less developed than Strange Houses – a book a quite enjoyed. Strange Pictures ties together three cases that all involve drawings – and while the first is definitely enough to capture your attention, as the links between them are not immediately evident, I was bored for quite a bit of the second case. Strange…

Book Review of Yesteryear
This is the book that everyone is reading – so of course you have to ask the question – is it worth all the fuss? It’s not so simple to answer. Is it worth a read? I’d argue yes. It’s a page turner. Natalie, a tradwife influencer promoting the values of frontier American lifestyle suddenly wakes up and finds herself in exactly those times – and life is much harder than she imagined.…

Book Review of Into The Blue
This was set to be my favourite book of the year at one point. I really loved this tender story of to young people who fall and love and are separated by circumstance. With improv. AJ is seventeen and dreams of writing for Saturday Night Live. She works in a local video store and one day – in walks Noah Drew, Hollywood royalty. The Drews are locals admittedly, and Noah the youngest in a…

Book Review of On the Calculation of Volume
I feel like this series will be a slow burn that gets better and better and better rather than an immediate hit with me – but it certainly has me intrigued. It’s also been on a lot of people’s list of recommendations. Tara Selter is lost in time. Every day she wakes up and it is the 18th of November. But no-one but her seems to realise it. The people around her, the animals, the weather –…

Book Review of The Witch
This short-listed book for the International Booker Prize sounded of interest – and the first half certainly lived up to promise. We meet our narrator Lucie as she initiates her two daughters into the family tradition of witchcraft. She has herself always been only a mediocre witch, able to grasp only tiny glimpses of the future as useless as a brief image of what a person will be wearing. For…
