My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂

Ruthiella It‘s the thought that counts! 😅 1d

I got this in a charity for £1 awhile ago. I bought it because my mum raved about it, but I don't get the fuss... It was just ok! A good wee murder mystery, but nothing special 🤷

Ruthiella I also thought this first one was fine…but having since read her later books, I do think she really excels at creating a sense of place. 9mo
RobES @Ruthiella oooh, I'll be give another one a go! 👍 9mo

Halfway through and really enjoying the world building in this who-dunnit thriller set in rural Australia during a severe drought - adding an environmental element to the “why” in addition to cinematic setting. Apparently there‘s a film version starring Eric Bana 😍 - may need to find when I‘m done.

I don‘t think I‘ll get to another Harper book this month but I‘d def continue this series. 🇦🇺 #AuthorAMonth

Finished my #aam today. What an incredibly compelling mystery. The descriptions of Australia in the midst of an intense drought was.... Damn, so horrifying. The mystery was depressing AF and the characters were complicated. I highly enjoyed this and might actually continue the series 🤣🤣

Not at all the ending I was predicting! This was a great thriller. The audiobook made it hard to know which moments were recounting of the past versus current day, but you usually could figure it out after a few sentences.

KadaGul @Zuhkeeyah first time around , I had a hard time w/ audiobook. I think 🤔 this time around ill read 📖 it #bookvsaudiobook (edited) 14mo
Zuhkeeyah @KadaGul Good idea. The story is really well built, but sudden flashbacks on the audiobook sometimes threw me out of it for a few minutes. 14mo

It wasn't as though the farm hadn't seen death before, and the blowflies didn't discriminate. #firstlinefridays @ShyBookOwl

IndoorDame @vivastory this is my first by her, but I‘m definitely enjoying it so far! 14mo
CatLass007 I‘m listening to this right now for the #AuthorAMonth challenge. I‘ve already listened to The Lost Man for the same challenge. I really enjoy her work. 14mo

IndoorDame @CatLass007 I‘ve been meaning to read her work for years and now I am for #aam, I love how this challenge pushes me to read new authors! 14mo
CatLass007 I completely agree about reading new authors. I feel the same way about #LiteraryCrew and #SundayBuddyRead. I think my enjoyment of new authors is part of the reason I‘m now overcommitted to buddy reads. But the only one pressuring me is me. 14mo
IndoorDame @CatLass007 😆 I get that! I‘m trying to cut back this year but it‘s tough cause I love them 14mo
CatLass007 I‘m doing my best to check more books out of the library via Libby or to read what I already have in my Audible library or physical library. If I must buy a book, I try to at least get it from the local used book store. 14mo
IndoorDame @CatLass007 that‘s awesome! 14mo
CatLass007 It doesn‘t always work but new things take their own sweet time to become habits. 14mo
CatLass007 I have a bad habit to add every book I see to my Audible wish list. I need to start adding books to my library holds, even if I‘m only allowed 20 holds at a time. I have created a tag to remind me to check out books that interest me. 14mo
IndoorDame @CatLass007 just started using those tags too. Super helpful! 14mo

I tried reading the tagged book while also reading Harper‘s The Lost Man but it was too confusing. Both have main characters who are snubbed in town for something they allegedly did years ago, & there now was murder, deep in the heart of #Australia. To top it off, they are slightly linked. I‘ve decided to finish this one first. I just learned the “who done it,” and dang was I ever surprised! Did anyone else figure it out before the big reveal? ⬇️

I haven't had any time to read today, but I did have time to open a package from @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks (many thanks!) and I ate a lot, went on two walks, and played games with my family.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Yay! So happy it arrived!! 🎉🎊🎈 1y
