Kill Your Husbands is an action-packed and very entertaining dose of Aussie intrigue from Jack Heath, an excellent follow-up to Kill Your Brother. 5★s/review/show...

I had loved this as well. A marvellous book!
Zenia Starr and Nickin Alexander are inspired choices as narrators of Vidya Madabushi's topical, moving and thought-provoking second novel, The Days Toppled Over. 5★s/review/show...

Just finished Outback by Aussie author Patricia Wolf, whose exciting thriller is about a hot, dry part of the world that she knows well but that these unfortunate tourists didn't.
My review of Outback
Curses and Other Buried Things by Caroline George
Would have enjoyed it had it actually stayed true to the title instead of turning into a YA romance.

The Jinn-Bot of Shantiport by Samit Basu is a popular, fun fantasy/scifi novel based on the story of Aladdin, but I found the plot quite chaotic.review: /review/show...
I think the updated version of Anita Heiss's Manhattan Dreaming maybe tries a bit too hard to be both relevant and entertaining. 3.5★s/review/show...
Tasmanian writer
Richard Flanagan
is one of the very best Aussie authors, whether it's for his prize-winners and best-sellers or his essays and articles, some of which are collected in And What Do You Do Mr. Gable?. Intelligent, thoughtful, passionate, unique. Love his work.
My review of And What Do You Do, Mr. Gable?
The Lost Boys of Barlowe Theater by Jaime Jo Wright
Never knew there were Christian thrillers as well. Loved this one!
