  • The deeper the dead

    By Catherine Lea
    4 stars

    A DI Nyree Bradshaw novel set in the far north of NZ. There were many suspects and it took a while to unfold the truth. I found Nyree quite hard to like. She was much to focussed on work instead of her poor 5 year old granddaughter. Good who dunnit though.

  • Mad Mabel

    By Sally Hepworth
    5 stars

    I loved this book and I am now looking forward to reading other books written by this author. What a tale. The main character Mabel became the youngest Australian convicted murder in history at 15 years of age. This is her story, told in the 1st person. Part mystery crime but mostly about friendship, love and connections. I read it in one day. I recommend this book!

    So incredibly sad.

  • Lucky Thing

    By Tom Baragwanath
    5 stars

    I really enjoyed his first book Paper Cage, so I was looking forward to his 2nd book. Set in the same small town of Masterton as the 1st book with the same characters. This book keep me guessing until nearly the end on the perpetrators identities. I finished this book in a day. I love a who dunnit set in NZ.

  • Hester and Harriet

    By Hilary Spiers
    3 stars

    A lighthearted read. A little mystery, a cast of fun characters and a bit of humour. It won't stay in my mind for long but I enjoyed the read.

  • The Shadow Weaver

    By Ivy Cliffwater
    5 stars

    Best contemporary fantasy book I've read for ages! Loved it! By an NZ author too. I can't wait until the next book! A bit of romance that spoils a great fantasy book. It was only a little bit though. Not like Fourth Wing.

  • The witches daughter

    By Paula Brackston
    3 stars

    I did enjoy this. But I enjoyed some time periods more than others. I didn't particularly like Elizabeth even though she was on the side of good. Quite long winded but I will give the next book in the series a go.

  • A beautiful family

    By Jennifer Trevelyn
    3 stars

    From a young girls perspective. A family on holiday. On 1st glance they are any normal family. But are they.....

  • Softly calls the devil

    By Chris Blake
    5 stars

    Loved this mystery crime novel set on the West Coast of the South Island. The main character Matt is a sole policeman in the town after the last cop of over 20 years retires. He was a 20 year veteran when things went wrong. He finds the cop he replaced dead with a bullet in his head. I really enjoyed this book. There was however too many characters to remember. This meant for me not remembering who the murder was when it was revealed. I had to go back to remember who the murderer was.

  • The voices

    By Natalie Clandler
    5 stars

    Wow! What a twisted tale! Told from the perspective of a woman in a coma who can hear everything. Loved it.

  • Strange Sally Diamond

    By Liz Nugent
    4 stars

    I read this very quickly because I needed to know what was going to happen. Sad, dark but there was also humour at times. I enjoyed looking at the world through Sally's eyes. I felt incredibly sad for Peter and Sally's birth mum.
