For the sixth year in a row I’m participating in the challenge which aims to promote the reading of books by Australian women writers. My personal goal this year is to read and review 25 books. In reading date order they are

- Candice Fox – CRIMSON LAKE (private investigator led thriller)
- Meg and Tom Keneally – THE UNMOURNED (historical crime novel, 1825 setting)
- J.M. Peace – THE TWISTED KNOT (contemporary police procedural)
- Sandi Wallace – DEAD AGAIN (procedural/thriller/romance)
- Liane Moriarty – BIG LITTLE LIES (chick lit/domestic suspense)
- Sally Abbott – CLOSING DOWN (speculative fiction – a DNF so not counted in my final tally)
- Liane Moriarty – THE HUSBAND’S SECRET (chick lit/domestic suspense)
