Australian based murder mystery which won the Gold Dagger Award.
I liked the pacing, real life like characters and particularly the style of the dialogue.
The plot got a little over complicated but overall a worthy prize winner.

Her third book and not I guess her best.
Disjointed and multi character. Set in a hotel kitchen, executive chef Gabe wants to break away and run his own place, but a murder gets in the way.
Her style and prose is good, a light touch and some pleasing humour.
Our book group didn’t think much of it…but then not all bothered to read it.

Author of The Last King of Scotland, this new novel is billed to be a big best seller. I don’t see it deserving that.
The whole book revolves around Harry Meadows a weather forecaster trying to predict clear weather which would be the green light for the D Day landings.
Based on true life events, trouble is it didn’t really hook me in.
