Could not put it down. It felt like I was reading a a bestselling Grisham novel. I just couldn’t work it out, no spoilers but so well done. It was also so interesting, the innocence project is something I’ve always known about but not really considered. The murder rule too, who knew you’d be just …
I thought I loved the Thursday Murder Club..this is next level!!! I loved the friendship, the humour, the diamonds…the absolutely everything about it! I loved the deeper exploration of the characters, but also really its a stand alone novel! So sweet, so fun, so mysterious!!
Could.Not.Put.It.Down loved it being set in suburbia in 1989, prince’s 1999 completely takes me back to the summer of 1989 and for a valid reason I think now. Loved Tom and the theme of satanic panic, loved all the twists and turns, loved absolutely everything about it. So clever, so well done
I got to read an uncorrected proof and I’m so grateful to Allen and Unwin for the experience. Loved the 80s nostalgia and all the good eating x I loved the opportunity to get inside the head of a privileged, rich white completely flawed Carrie. Loved the exploration of family expectations, sibling rivalry and gosh …
w This was my second time around with the liars and I loved it all the more. That twist! That Cadence! So well done, Such a strong sense of place and people x I see criticism of the style, but it’s from the perspective of a broken girl..I love it
SO atmospheric, SO claustrophobic. I’m not real a thriller reader, but goodness this was great Australian rural noir, ‘the close, damp heat’ I thought it captured the 70s so well, the casual sexism and racism, the meat and three veg Australian feel ‘size of a brick shithouse..still bloody poignant’. Janet, Carmel, Barbara, it was all …
What a page turner! I can see the Big Little Lies comparison, but this is definitely its own story. Absolutely its a novel about a suburban mums, and it does think about that small town community, and those school yard cliques but there is so much more going on… I cannot believe it’s a debut! …
Such a thriller for me! Although I’m generally not a thriller reader, but this was definitely thrilling for me! I loved the rural Australian setting; I so remember the heat of ‘the uninsulated metal roof of the demountable…’ I loved Detective Kate Miles; watching her deal with the casual sexism and racism was so moving, …
Absolutely loved it! I read this novel in the height of summer but was actually cold while reading about the snowshoeing to the Buchanan hut x the death of Art was such a mystery I just had to turn another page regardless of my bed…a great novel ‘to study how not to communicate’…such a wonderful …
What a cracker!!! I’m not much of a thriller reader so I was on the absolute edge of my seat the entire time! There is a ‘fair bit going on’ but goodness what a thrill! Love Oli and Cooper. Completely loved seeing the clash of old print media and subscription based podcasting! Love seeing the …
