This one will stay with me a while – a beautifully written story about the bewildering decisions adults make and the repercussions it has on their children; who are trying desperately to grow up and find their own identity.

Another great edition to the Mystery section! I had no idea it was available, and joyfully surprised when I found it on the shelf at my local bookshop. Devoured in a couple of sittings, thoroughly enjoyable and a must for fans of Christie, Sayers, Heyer and Allingham.
Wow! What an incredible tale of investigative journalism on such a taboo subject. The persistence, the courage, the hidden world comes as no surprise, however the continual denials stagger me. Not an easy subject, but an easy and fascinating read. Bloody well done!
Had I read this ten years ago, it would have meant something completely different. It captures beautifully the struggle, pain and loss, the hope and complexities of wanting a family, and being part of one. Compelling, beautiful, empathetic. Tears.
Delving into 3D mummy printing, a who’s who in the tombs and a magnificently full family and work life, it turns out that there are more mysteries in life than the obvious for Dr Elizabeth Pimms. A cracking good read.
As you read you’ll feel the scorching heat of a South Australian Christmas, you’ll tread carefully for snakes and you’ll feel every bump on that corrugated road. It also means you’ll feel the frustration of not being able to get a straight answer, and the the diplomatic dealing of a single policeman in a town that has a lot of secrets. Another brilliant and compelling mystery from one of Australia’s finest!
Recommended by a BookClub Group, this is a fascinating and compelling memoir that tries to make sense of conflict and history. What an eye opener!
Delightful from start to finish, quirky and moving it’s a book to read for the sheer enjoyment of reading!
A bewildering start with twists upon twists. It’s dark, gritty and enthralling. Stick with it through the maze of streets, politics, drugs, theatrics and the confusion. You will be rewarded, as perplexing as it may seem.
I had no idea what to expect when I picked it up; I laughed out loud and sniggered, and was shocked, and it made the plane flight home pass so quickly. A great snapshot of different lives in different times, utterly enjoyable.
