Angus and Robertson have listed 60 great Aussie reads for Xmas. Check them out and consider supporting our wonderful local talent.

Meanwhile don’t forget that Dymocks are offering a two in one Kerry Greenwood/Marianne Delacourt double. Not to be missed!

She said Says:

Sabotage, murder, kidnap and simmering romance – what more do you want when you are by the pool? A heroine who investigates noises in the night, confronts the dodgy stalker, and breaks into the baddies house at midnight – all on no sleep.

Delacort has invented a Stephanie Plum character who is just as ballsy and loveable but this one lives in Perth and has 2 pet Galahs instead of a hamster. An easy read with multiple story layers, Sharp Turn will keep you guessing till the end, pick it up this summer if you like Janet Evanovich and Val McDermid’s, Blue Genes.

Abbey’s bookshop is offering two Tara Sharp novels for the price of one while stocks last. In their words, the novels are “Packed with kick arse action for anyone who loves a fab, feisty, female character.”

How exciting, Tara got a snip review in the Jetstar Magazine:

Sharp Turn

Holidays are perfect for mysteries, especially those featuring the lovable heroine Tara Sharp. Between hunting down a motorbike saboteur, teaching body language reading to bordello girls and keeping a homeless friend off her couch, Marianne Delacourt’s protagonist is deep in it. Arena (an imprint of Allen & Unwin), AU$29.99, ISBN 9781742370033.

And while you’re out Christmas shopping, you should snap up the two-pack Kerry Greenwood/Marianne Delacourt for $23. Great holiday double!
