    The story of Jo & Rowy, sisters with a backdrop of the Vietnam war. A well written fictional story hung on facts of the time. Number 4 in a series but is a really good stand alone read.

  • Better the blood

    By michael bennett
    4 stars

    Not a huge fan of detective stories but this has done the rounds of staff so thought I would give it a go. Loved that it was set in Auckland but all things leading back to the detective was a little too much for me.

    Mystery story set in Wellington. about a pet detective who gets swept up in something much bigger than an injured pet. An easy read and comedic in parts.

  • into thin air

    By Jon Krakauer
    4 stars

    One person's account of the disastrous spring season in 1996 of the climbing of Mt Everest. It tries to be objective but very hard as the story of those that died is not able to be told.
