The time is 1995, but everybody is linked by their past. Brilliant Australian Caroline can command everyone except her own ghoulish mother, which means that things aren’t easy for Josh and Zoe, her husband and twelve-year-old daughter. Josh has biza…

I read "The Suspicions of Mr Whicher or the Murder at Road Hill House" by Kate Summerscale - after I met her at the Sydney Writers Festival last year. It was factual and written in 'who done it' style. I never suspected it was Constance Kent who kil…

The last book that hooked me in from the start was The Girl who played with Fire, partly because I just couldn't wait to follow the adventures of Salander and Blomquist again and partly because the book is GREAT!

Hi,

My name is Chris Tusa, and I'm a writer from New Orleans. My debut novel, Dirty Little Angels, is now available for pre-order from Amazon.com, and I am writing because I was hoping you might be willing to read it and post your thoughts on your blog (or on Amazon.com). If you're interested, I'd be more than willing to send you an e-book version by e-mail. Just let me know. I've included a summary of the novel below:

Dirty Little Angels
Set in the slums of New Orleans, among clusters of crack houses and abandoned buildings, Dirty Little Angels is the story of sixteen year old Hailey Trosclair. When the Trosclair family suffers a string of financial hardships and a miscarriage, Hailey finds herself looking to God to save her family. When her prayers go unanswered, Hailey puts her faith in Moses Watkins, a failed preacher and ex-con. Fascinated by Moses's lopsided view of religion, Hailey, and her brother Cyrus, begin spending time down at an abandoned bank that Moses plans to convert into a drive-through church. Gradually, though, Moses's twisted religious beliefs become increasingly more violent, and Hailey and Cyrus soon find themselves trapped in a world of danger and fear from which there may be no escape.

If you'd like to read the first chapter before you commit, feel free to visit my web site:

Thanks so much,
Chris

Who wrote 'When winter comes'? I just checked but there doesn't seem to be another Twelve Houses book in the works but Sharon has written a brand new book called 'Troubled waters' which we will order soon! Yay!

Truth is the beginning of the sequel to Peter Temple's "The broken shore". It's about violence, battery, crime,  corruption and deceit His clarity grabs you from the start and an engaging novel (which is what I love). It's well paced and evocative.…

  This fabulous prequel to the Black Magician Trilogy is set hundreds of years before the events of the first books. It could be read on its own but I think it would be better to read the trilogy first. One of the main mysteries from the trilogy is…

I really liked this series too! I thought they were borderline romancey, but still excellent. The internal struggle that Wen was dealing with throughout the book was depicted magnificently. Will there be another one - That is the question! Has anyon…
