pickAnother Aussie crime writer. Kept me reading. PI with his own issues and looking into old disappearances of young girls in a small country town. Hope we see more of her writing.
pickA decent written thriller/mystery. It took a little while for me to get into and the ending felt a bit rushed but I liked the characters, especially Lane, and their ambiguities. A low pick. #auldlangspine
pickJust been away for the weekend in the Hunter Valley with my sisters & mum for a girl‘s weekend to watch The Chicks play at Bimbagen Estate for Day on the Green. Was very relaxing. Lots of wine tasting & yummy food. I started this book by a friend of mine‘s estranged daughter for my book club, The Stockton Hornbags. I‘m enjoying it so far. My friend & I went to see her at the Newcastle Writer‘s Festival this year. She has since released another.
#AutumnPlease #Day11 #SmallTownMurder This one is Shelley Burrs debut novel about the kidnapping & murder of a young girl in an outback town in NSW Australia. It‘s one of those books that stay with you, and her 2nd,which I‘ve just read, is exactly the same. Can‘t recommend this new Aussie author enough. #Scarathlon #SpookyGhostClub 6pts
pickPI Lane looks into cold cases and approaches Mina, whose sister Evelyn disappeared almost 20 years ago. She‘s reluctant to let him or anyone in but he starts investigating regardless. This is a terrific, taut debut mystery set in the Australian Outback. I just loved it and can‘t wait to see what Burr writes next.
pickLitsy, Library Reads, Indie Next, Bookpage, She Reads, Crimereads, Pop Sugar, Book Riot…so many places. 😊
pickDay 2 of Newie Writer‘s fest ✅ 1st up was the laid back Holly Throsby. This was the view out of the window of the lecture theatre I was sitting in. Gorgeously distracting. Next up was Jessie Cole then the tagged book‘s author. I have her first manuscript that was never published even though offers were made. Next was Chloe Hooper & last was Jane Harper whose public speaking skills have improved somewhat since last I heard her speak. Thank god.
pickI enjoyed this mystery set in Australia. It‘s by a debut author and I‘m looking forward to seeing what she writes next. This one has a lot of layers, maybe one or two too many, but it kept my interest throughout.

pickI finished a book!!🙌 This was a really good thriller/mystery by a new Aussie author. Set in outback NSW, in a small town called Nannine,the only thing that‘s happened was the disappearance of Mina McCreevy‘s twin sister Evelyn 19yrs ago. Now living with the aftermath on her disused sheep station, she‘s shaken when Lane Holland appears, claiming to be a PI interested in her case. Well written with a great ending. #BookspinBingo #Doublespin for May
Yes I know, another #readathon that I‘ll fail at, but I‘m trying I promise! At least I managed 7hrs so far alternating between the #audiobook of the 1st Black Dagger Brotherhood book(Dark Lover)& this signed debut novel by Australian crime writer Shelley Burr. Winner of the CWA Debut Dagger award, it‘s set in a small outback NSW town about a PI & a woman trying to live with the baggage of her sisters disappearance 19yrs ago. Wish me luck! #20in4
