Homecoming
{5/5} “Small pleasant moments of recognition were everywhere. The smooth oak banister of the staircase was familiar beneath her hand, its satin luster hinting at recent waxing. On the hallstand at the top, an antique washstand jug held another of Nora’s Christmas bush and flowering gum arrangements. The jug was Nora’s favourite, despite the chip […]

The House at Riverton
{4.5/5} “Of course, her mind, as she sat, was not immobile. She looked as though she were trying to solve the conundrum of her life.

The Secret Keeper
{5/5} “The landscape of one’s childhood was more vibrant than any other. It didn’t matter where it was or what it looked like, the sights and sounds imprinted differently from those encountered later. They became a part of a person, inescapable.” The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton, published in 2012 When Laurel was 16 she […]
The Clocks
{4.5/5} “Inspector Hardcastle was professionally prejudiced against people who found bodies. Finding the body avoided so many difficulties for a murderer — it saved the hazards of arranging an alibi; it accounted for any overlooked fingerprints. In many ways it was a cast-iron position — with one proviso only. There must be no obvious motive.” […]
