I knew this would be a five-star rating book before I even finished reading the first chapter. Yes, you could say this author is a favorite of mine and I love reading her books.
Relatable and likeable characters with so many laugh-out-loud moments all the things I love in a book. Highly recommended.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my digital ARC copy to read and review.

James Wearing has never worked out why he and his brother, Alex have never gotten along, but after their latest argument, James is left feeling a lit James Wearing has never worked out why he and his brother, Alex have never gotten along, but after their latest argument, James is left feeling a little uneasy. James is expected in Melbourne for a conference in two days time, but decides to take an earlier flight.
Not long after he arrives, James catches up with Claudio Perona, a friend and colleague from Centre for Classics and Archaeology at the University of Melbourne. It's later that afternoon whilst in Claudio's office that, James gets a phone call from Miles Bennett. Miles tells James that the three artefacts that they borrowed through the Australian Museum for the open day were missing. The missing pieces were A Celtic dagger, a gold torque and a ring. James had no idea where the artefacts could be. Miles hadn't spoken to, Alex yet so they were hoping he may have them for some reason.
Later in the day, James receives another phone call this time from Detective Chief Inspector Fitzjohn from the New South Wales Police informing him that his brother, Alex has died under suspicious circumstances. James travels back to Sydney hoping to find out exactly what happened to his brother. What James didn't see coming was that he was to become one of the suspects. It was now up to James to do a bit of investigating himself and try to work out who and why someone would want to kill, Alex. But the secrets that James was about to discover about his brother may put, James's life in danger. Would the police be able to find the killer before there is another victim?
This is the first book I've read by Aussie author Jill Paterson and I'm looking forward to the rest of the series. This murder mystery had my attention right from the start all the way to the end which I very much enjoyed. Recommended.

I like many of the readers who have read this book didn’t like Jessica Harrington as I found her to be a very unlikable character even though I did enjoy the storyline and the other characters.
Sometimes you come across a character that gets on your nerves and your opinion of the book changes and you don’t enjoy it as much as you thought you might and that’s the joy of reading. I will continue to read books by this author and look forward to my next book by her.

They were all heading back to their childhood home to visit their dad for Christmas after losing their mother earlier on in the year. Their parents owned a hotel in the area, but it was now left up to their father to keep it operating.
It was not hard to see how much their father was grieving and the time had come for the family owned hotel business to be sold. Sorting through their mother's things was not an easy thing to do, but it had to be done. Whilst sorting the sisters came across something and that’s where the story begins to have twists and turns and leaves the sisters wondering if what they found was true or not.
This book was quite a chunky book at almost 500 pages, but I found it really didn’t take me that long to finish it which surprised me as I tend to shy away from chunky books. Another enjoyable and intriguing read from Aussie author Rachael Johns. Recommended.

Melrose is a little country town in South Australia and it was quite a pretty town. Erica never imagined at the age of nearly fifty that she would be living in a flat above a funeral home where she was about to start her new job.
Erica couldn’t have asked for a nicer boss than Walter. Walter was kind, easygoing, polite and a caring kind of person. Erica found Walter a pleasure to work for which made going to work every day enjoyable, but as time passed Erica could feel her stress from the past starting to return.
Her Time to Shine by Aussie author Fiona McCallum is a brilliantly written book. With thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my copy to read and review. Highly recommended.

The one place she truSarah’s world was falling apart after a failed marriage followed by her career which she had worked so hard on, but to no avail. The one place she truly didn’t want to return to was Lord Howe Island, but, maybe going back there and helping her parents run the family store is what she needed or was it?
Sarah knew that returning to the Island there would be a good chance she would cross paths with Floss and Jules. Growing up the three of them were best friends, but something occurred between them and Sarah hadn’t had any contact with them for many years.
Will this be the Summer for Sarah, Floss and Jules to put their past behind them and be friends again or has too much time passed to forgive and forget.
A beautifully written story of friendship that will pull at your heartstrings and leave you wanting more. I thoroughly loved this story and look forward to reading more by this author in the future.
