  • The Hitchhikers

    By Chevy Stevens
    5 stars

    An action thriller. Tom and Alice pick up two hitchhikers on their Canadian trip. The trip takes a sinister turn when they realise the pair are wanted for murder. The story kept me engaged - not knowing what the next twist will be.

  • Kill your husbands

    By Jack Heath
    4 stars

    Three couples head away to a holiday house for the weekend. Only some return. A twisty whodunnit.

  • The bookseller at the end of the world

    By Ruth Shaw
    5 stars

    I loved this book. As a librarian who is also surrounded by books, her bookshop stories resonated with me. I agree with Ruth - there is a book for everyone.

    By Lee Child and Andrew Child
    3 stars

    Jack Reacher gets involved with an ex-vet trying to stop a war for profit.

  • It's a bit more complicated than that

    By Hannah Marshall
    5 stars

    Great story telling. Read this book in one sitting which is unusual for me. Loved the characters in the story. Can a broken relationship ever be fixed? Great question.

  • Refugee

    By Alan Gratz
    4 stars

    Three children from different countries (Germany, Cuba and Syria) and different times escape their homelands looking for a better life. Great illustrations in this graphic novel.

  • I thought we'd be famous

    By Dominic Hoey
    3 stars

    A gritty collection of poems

  • There's a cure for this

    By Dr Emma Espiner
    4 stars

    I thought this was a powerful book not only dealing with the medical system and her part in it, but also racism and poverty in Aotearoa.

  • The Scholar

    By Dervla McTiernan
    4 stars

    Excellent Irish detective mystery. The lead detective's partner becomes linked to the investigation when she finds the victim and works in the same laboratory.

  • The Waters

    By Carl Nixon
    4 stars

    Loved the Canterbury setting of this book. Three siblings blighted by their difficult childhood. The book goes back and forth over 40 years of their lives.

  • Wolf Hour

    By Jo Nesbo
    3 stars

    Took me a bit to get in to this book with the writing style but it grew on me. A tale of revenge.

  • Giving birth to my father

    By Tusaiata Avia
    4 stars

    I love to hear a Samoan women's perspective. This time it's about death. As a palagi woman married to a Samoan I know about the events but it's great to hear about the thinking behind.
