Maintaining JP Pomare's high standard of thriller and mystery books. Enjoyable read. Enjoying books set in authentic New Zealand
Mystery thriller with lots of twists and turns.
Book 3 in the series - did not disappoint!
Another WW11 book which is totally engaging. The ramifications and the upheaval caused by the Soviet and the Germany forces in WW11 do not disappear after a generation but flow on to affect subsequent generations.
A fascinating story of two women, two centuries apart, being forced to hide their identity in order to have their voices heard.
Simpering steamy romance - could have sorted out all their problems in the first chapter - how I endured 464 pages I'm not sure!
Great YA read re raising mental health awareness for our teenage students.
Renown for her YA books, The Night she Fell is a tight psychological thriller based on the premise Suicide, murder or accident. Dunedin's infamous grimy student life is front and centre and, as in all good crime novels, our loyalties to characters twist and turn as the story evolves.
Not brilliantly inspiring but an easy holiday read. I really hate how the author explains the same information over and over again as thought the reader has no brain! However, an interesting insight into blood, blood donations and transfusions.
A beautiful layered book on life and death which was uplifting and reflective. For those of us who have been intimately involved with death, the book provides solace and humour as well as hope. A wonderful read.
Great read - especially if you are familiar with the Ruahine Ranges , supporting those with dementia and returning from years overseas to New Zealand.
Psychological thriller (holiday mode). A little pedestrian - background story of the the protagonist was interesting but the 'thriller' part was certainly not up to Kellerman's Alex Delaware's series. A tad disappointed.
Book 2 of series - not improving@
A bit hohum but ok to pick up and put down while looking after kids when not a lot of brain power is needed.
Simply brilliant - storytelling at its best - totally unforgettable and hard to move on to the next book.
Wonderful story based on a true story and is a fascinating tale of ambition, passion, sheer talent and the 'non-existence' of the role of woman in 18th century Venice.
Book 3 of the Hidden Norfolk Series by JM Dalgleish. British crime thriller set in the beautiful Norfolk regions. Dark mystery thriller tinged with dry humour. Good holiday reading.
First book in the series. Characters were engaging enough for me to read next couple in the series. Understated British crime thriller.
Funny, relaxing easy read - perfect summer holiday reading for exhausted brains!
Beautifully crafted, heart-rending and moving crime thriller - Chris Whitaker is the Man!! Loved it.
Loved this book - so many quotes - perfect for librarians or avid bibliophiles.
A perfect thriller that keeps you guessing till the end. Great to see good crime being written by a Kiwi author.
