Lost Souls, Jonathan Kellerman. When infant remains are discovered, the similarity of the same scene 50 years ago is revived. If you like crime novels this is one to read. Lorraine felt for the young women in The Daughters of Shame, true stories of young Muslim and Sikh women fleeing to other countries, written by Jasvinder Sanghera - this book left an impression. Author Chris Bohjalian wrote Secrets of Eden, a young married woman was shot by her new husband who then turned the gun on himself. The Girl in the Woods, by Swedish crime writer Camilla Luckberg, is a psychological thriller written along the same lines as Stieg Larsson and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Ben Macintyre wrote The Spy and the Traitor, a great espionage story of the Cold War. An author we had not read before Keigo Higasaigo wrote The Devotion of Suspect X, which is the third novel in the Detective Galileo series. There are a number of books written along the same lines as The Codebreakers by Alli Sinclair, but this one tells of the tenacity and friendship inspired by the women of Australia’s top secret Central Bureau in WW11. Lyn read us a lovely piece about authors and their pets, dogs and cats who keep them company during the long hours of being a writer. A lovely and funny piece of writing.
