What We’re Reading at Flaxmere Library Book Chat

I’m Travelling Alone by Samuel Bjork

Another great Scandinavian murder mystery by Norwegian author, Samuel Bjork. This novel concerns a serial killer who is targeting six-year-old girls. A Holger Munch and Mia Kruger investigation which switches perspectives to show glimpses into the mind of the killer - this is a chilling read that is hard to put down.

Harvest of Blessings by Charlotte Hubbard

A light, bright read in the Sugar Creek series also featuring recipes you'll want to try at home. Wealthy Nora Landwehr returns to the Amish town of Willow Ridge, where she had never been able to fit in with the old Amish ways or her strict upbringing. She has some challenging times ahead with trying to help her community embrace the future and a reckless neighbour with whom she disagrees on just about everything.


Hangman Blind by Cassandra Clark

The first in the Abbess of Crewe series, this book introduces us to Hildegard, who finds herself caught up in murder on a visit to her childhood home in York. An enjoyable read evoking the period of volatile peace following the murder of Wat Tyler and the Peasant’s Revolt under Richard II. Hangman Blind has loads of atmosphere and an appealing investigator.

Beneath a Rising Sun by Peter Watt

The latest in this very popular series about the Mackintosh and Duffy families which begins with The Cry of the Curlew. In the new book, Jessica, James and David are caught up in the war in the Pacific against Japan, while at home on the frontier of Queensland, there are challenges because of an inescapable family legacy. Family sagas don’t come much better than this.


Dial C for Chihuahua by Waverley Curtis

Chihuahuas are smarter than you think, smart enough to  talk and help solve crimes. Pepe Sullivan is the star of the Barking Detective series of humorous mysteries. In his first case, Pepe and owner Geri investigate the death of a Seattle millionaire and his not so grieving widow who wants to finance a reality TV show, Dancing with Dogs. This will have you sitting up and begging for more – particularly if you have a penchant for chihuahuas.
