Die Trying

Okay, but a bit long winded in parts.
In a Fishbone Church

By Catherine Chidgey

Clever writing, beautiful language, captures a slice of NZ life
Golden Deeds

By Catherine Chidgey

Engaging. Appreciated the quality of language and richness of ideas. Captures a tone of NZ across the decades.
Isle of Dogs

By Partricia Cornwell

1 stars

.Underwhelming. Nothing like the Kay Scarpetta series
The Ringmaster

By Vanda Symon

3 stars

Plot progression is a bit stilted and the ah-ha moment in solving the crime arrives with no build up.
The Covenant of Water

By Abraham Verghese

5 stars

A lovely story of the life of a woman in India from when she was married at 12 years old until a little after her death, and of those associated with her. Exquisite writing, clever staging.
Just One Evil Act

By Elizabeth George

4 stars

Another good whodunnit, and why.
A Traitor to Memory

By Elizabeth George

4 stars

A good plot; keeps you guessing.
Career of Evil

By Robert Galbraith

4 stars

A detective mystery with twists, potential love interests, enough complexity in a diverse range of characters and their possible motives; a good escapism novel for evening and weekend reading.
