Book Review: Upriver by Martin Roy HIll
"His anger grew from the myriad of lies and deceits he discovered this war bred. Corrupt contractors, war-weary service members, innocent victims."

Book Review: The Way it is Now by Garry Disher
Garry Disher effortlessly evokes the feel of a small town community where everyone knows each other and old secrets are buried deep. The timeline of the pre-covid pandemic is well portrayed when we were all so naive and it was just something happening somewhere else.

Book Review: The Reunion by Polly Phillips
Publisher: Simon & Schuster
I love a great revenge story and The Reunion didn’t disappoint! This was a book I wanted to pick up every spare minute. I was pulled into the story right from the prologue.
Emily and
husband Nick are gearing up for their university’s 15 year reunion.
Now Emily has a perfect life; a doting husband and two gorgeous
children but her past still haunts her. She has avoided her year’s
cohort for 15 years and now she wants answers but mostly she wants
revenge.
Polly Phillips slowly builds a mystery about Emily’s Uni days, alluding to something big happening, expertly teasing the story out keeping me glued to the pages.
You never really know the people closest to you is a major theme running through the novel.
