pickThis is a great series, #SetinAustralia . The main character is deaf, and he runs a private detective business. It has some incredibly sad side plots, and you really do need to read the first book to get the most out of this one. I can‘t wait to read the third one.#Booked2021
Currently reading: Swallow the Air by Tara June Winch, And the Fire Came Down by Emma Viskic, Kindred by Kirli Saunders, The Pakana Voice by Dr Ian Broinowski.
In which Caleb Zelic is sucked back into the aftermath of a murder. Emma Viskic captures the tension, claustrophobia and bigotry of a small Australian town in bushfire season very well.
pickSpent the holiday reading and visiting Australia. I liked this book even if Caleb hasn‘t grown and learned from the events of Resurrection Bay. I do like how Caleb jumps (or gets sucked) in to help the woman who comes to him for help. His persistence is impressive as is his dedication to helping and protecting those he loves. Looking forward to the next one.
pickI absolutely loved 85% but that other 15% brings it down from a 4.5⭐️ read to a 3.5⭐️ I loved the setting, the atmosphere of a small coastal town in bushfire season along with the racial tension between the Koori population & some of the white residents, after the trashing of Koori owned shops & burning to the ground of Caleb‘s MILs Medical Centre which is handled really well. My issues were with Caleb‘s stupidity & the highly unsatisfying ending.
Currently halfway through the 2nd to Viskic‘s debut novel, Resurrection Bay. A Caleb Zelic story, it picks up after the events in the 1st book. Caleb is struggling to deal with the flashbacks of his & Kats ordeal, taking to running through the streets of Melbourne instead of sleep. When a desperate woman tries to get his help but is chased in front of a truck & killed in front of him, he‘s dragged into a mess that takes him back to his hometown.
I‘m a tad late with my November stats - Work is a little exhausting at the moment. I‘ve been lucky enough to read another bunch of awesome books. However I can‘t rave enough about Emma Viskic‘s work. She‘s awesome!
My total for the year is sitting at 211 and I‘m no longer sure 250 is achievable. #nextyearsgoals
