The Front

By Patricia Cornwell

2 stars

Lacked depth of character and description.
The Correspondent

By Virginia Evans

4 stars

Not as good as 84 Charing Cross Road. However, still enjoyable. Sybil's life and secret are revealed through her letters and emails to an assortment of family members, friends, acquaintances and strangers.
Music and Freedom

By Zoe Morrison

4 stars

At times, the book is not easy to read, as it centres around a woman trapped in an abusive marriage. However, she outlives her husband, and with resilience and through her love of music and embracing life again, she transforms her life and finds peace and joy.
We'll prescribe you a cat

By Siyou Ishida

3 stars

Only people who really need support in their lives are able to find a unique clinic which prescribes them a cat as therapy. Elements of magic realism.
206 Bones

By Kathy Reichs

3 stars

A whodunnit. This is the first Kathy Reichs book I've read and it's the 12th book centred around Temperance Brennan, a forensic anthropologist (Kathy Reichs, herself, is one). Perhaps if I'd read the previous 11 books I might have been more invested in the main character. I skipped sections of the book, especially where she explains why her job is so important. Show, don't tell. Despite this, it was a suitable holiday read.
Richard Gush of Salem

By Guy Butler

2 stars

I read this as I know some of the descendants of Richard Gush. It was written for the 150th commemoration of the 1820 Settlers in South Africa. It is about an incident that took place during the frontier wars in South Africa (1779 - 1879). Gush rode out, unarmed, to talk to Xhosa warriors to dissuade them from attacking the settlement, Salem. He was successful.
