The Guests on South Battery , a novel by one of my favorite authors, has done it again! This is another novel of mystery, suspense, drama and some comedy mixed in! I read it in three days and had a really hard time putting it down, like most of her books. Karen White is truly a gifted writer and I’m so glad I found her to entertain myself!!
Never heard of this author. I will check here at the library re; the author.
Yep K.White’s books are here on the shelves including the one that you mention above! Well that was a surprise for me.
I have read your recent farm up dates – cattle, wood, ducks etc.
Of them all, the ducks are the easiest to look after, they are pretty independent creatures. Just make sure the foxes and feral other unpleasant ‘duck eating/killing’ for fun creatures can’t get at them.
Thanks for the reply re: my travelling family – it is in our blood.
Unfortunately due to my back problems I am grounded as when you travel overseas health insurance is a must, unless you are stark raving mad!
I can’t get health insurance, I am unfortunately too much of a risk.
Still I have done all my travelling when I was young, fit and able so I guess I shouldn’t whinge – anyhow no one takes any notice – ha ha!
Only now wish that I had gone on one of my US trips via South America – Santiago, Buenos Aires and Rio. It was just a bit more in costs and there are direct flights ex: Sydney to Santiago (Chile) and Buenos Aires (Argentina) with Lan Chile Airlines, Qantas and Air New Zealand to choose from.
Lan Chile flies to quite a few US cities so that would be the choice for travel.
Pity about your recent colds and the unco-operative bloody weather.
Here we still are in SUMMER and it is 1/2 through Autumn!
Rain is badly needed for the farming community. It is a sad state of affairs I can assure you.
Cheers to Eddie and family members

Didn’t we already read this? You paid a crazy amount of money for it. You didn’t rebuy it? Did you finally read it?

I finally got to read it and Heather bought it for me for Christmas last year. I’m reading her book Spinning the Moon now.

I don’t think I’ve read any of her books, but I just put a hold on this one at my library (audiobook). Hopefully it will be available by the time I finish the one I have now! I seldom find time to read a “real” book any more, but I always have an audiobook in my car for the commute! Thanks for the recommendation.

Most of my reading is audio as well but this one was a “for real” book. This book is #5 in a series. The House On Trade Street is the first of the series but I think you’ll still like it.
