The Secret of Strangers by @jesskitchingwrites
What a read!
A thriller author finds herself right in the thick of a missing local woman’s case, and from there I was completely hooked. Set in a quaint English village, this had all the cosy small-town charm on the surface, with something much darker bubbling underneath.
I genuinely had no idea who the abductor was until the reveal, and when it came, I was gobsmacked.
Twisty, tense and very easy to fly through. A great pick if you love a village mystery with a proper “wait… WHAT?” ending.

@mattynable new book will be in store 7th July
Mire is a page turning thriller that takes us from the Stockmarket floors in Sydney to the south coast of NSW and onto the Mafia ruled streets of New York. Body count is high and the stakes are higher.

Drawing wisdom from an array of thinkers and artists, including Plato, Simone Weil, and even Radiohead, @stangrantofficial expansive and philosophical new book When Words Fail Us invites readers to reconsider the meaning and necessity of silence in an age of noise and relentless distraction.

Tickets include a two-course menu designed by Port Phillip Estate and beverages will be available for purchase. Register via the link @wheelercentre (link in bio). @farrells_bookshop will be selling books on the night.
This NAIDOC Week (and every week), every gift can help create another story.
