  • His Name was Walter

    By Emily Rodda
    4 stars

    A beautifully written book within a book. A fantastic twist linking the 2 stories together. Would have liked the story to be longer so there was more time to develop and get to know the characters.

  • The Sparrow

    By Tessa Duder
    3 stars

    A book that really immerses you in life in New Zealand in the early days of European settlement.

  • Christmas Crimes at The Mysterious Bookshop

    By Otto Penzler
    4 stars

    Short and enjoyable mini mystery stories for Christmas!

  • The Strange and Unlikely Tale of Montgomery the Mysterious Bird of Mystery

    By Antony Elworthy
    3 stars

    A great short children’s book - about a boy and his grandfather who shares his unusual and possibly unbelievable life stories! This would be great for studying relationships and questioning what we can believe.

  • The Mistletoe Mystery

    By Nita Prose
    3 stars

    Nice short Christmas story for those who have already read Molly the Maid stories.

  • Everyone in my Family has Killed Someone

    By Benjamin Stevenson
    2 stars

    Read Everyone on this Train is a Suspect so reading the first book to fill in the gaps. Written to encourage you to solve the crime too.

  • The Bookshop Detectives

    By Gareth and Louise Ward
    3 stars

    Nice to read about NZ locations which you can recognise. A nice storyline but the ending was quite predictable.

  • Memory Wall

    By Anthony Doer
    4 stars

    Short stories with diverse themes - could be great for continuing the story - what happens next - the stories are compelling and you are left wanting to read more.

  • The Great Hippopotamus Hotel

    By Alexander McCall Smith
    3 stars

    Enjoy visiting old friends in this series, still nice to read and enjoy the scenery and descriptions but perhaps slightly running out of new ideas.

  • The Bookbinders of Jericho

    By Pip Williams
    5 stars

    A companion novel to The Dictionary of Lost Words, this is a beautifully written story about the forgotten women of war.

  • Before We Forget Kindness

    By Toshikazu Kawaguchi
    3 stars

    The latest book in the Coffee gets Cold series. Sad stories but with a hint of hope as people can travel briefly to the past or future to try to right a wrong.

  • The Last Murder at the End of the World

    By Stuart Turnton
    5 stars

    Love this author for writing truly different books. An unusual dystopian mystery with relevance for today.

  • We Solve Murders

    By Richard Osman
    3 stars

    Some clever linking of different events all coming together from around the world. Sadly not up to the standard of the Thursday Murder Club.

  • At the Grand Glacier Hotel

    By Laurence Fearnley
    4 stars

    A compelling story of recovery set in a remote part of New Zealand.

  • All the Light We Cannot See

    By Anthony Doerr
    5 stars

    Fascinating view of the life of a young German soldier and a blind girl. How lives and paths were altered by war, and what could have been.

  • Before the Coffee Gets Cold 4

    By Toshikazu Kawaguchi
    4 stars

    This is an amazing series. Short little stories within a story. Like little mysteries or small insights into the lives of others.
