    A light hearted read, with characters who you relate to.

  • Notorious

    By Olivia Hayfield
    4 stars

    The story is based on the historic tale of Richard III and the 2 princes in the tower, who went missing. However, it is set in modern times and in a completely different setting. To start with I found it hard going as I was trying to equate the characters with their historic counterparts (there is an explanation at the start of the book as to who is who), but once I stopped doing this and just read the story I found it much more enjoyable.

  • Victory Park

    By Rachel Kerr
    3 stars

    To be honest, I wouldn't normally have picked this book off the library shelves, but NZ author so double points!! It is well written, and the story is interesting, following a woman and her son, living a very basic low-income life in Wellington.

    An intriguing tale set in modern day and WWII Cornwall. I enjoyed reading it.

    By Danielle Hawkins

    A fun, light hearted read. Loved the NZ references

  • Devil's Breath

    By Jill Johnson
    3 stars

    Kind of compelling, but also a bit strange! A story about a professor of botanical toxicology and a murder.

  • The Salt Road

    By Jane Johnson
    5 stars

    A mystery / saga set among the Tuareg people of Northern Africa. A really interesting history lesson, set amongst characters who were fascinating to get to know.

  • Holiday in Death

    By J.D. Robb
    4 stars

    A murder mystery (one of many with the same main characters) set slightly in the future. Always follows a similar formula but a good entertaining read.
