Dirt Creek
I love mysteries and especially Australian stories (Jane Harper is a favorite of mine). However, this book didn't come through for me. There were too many characters in the beginning -- I had to make a chart about what children belonged to what parents to keep everybody straight. As much as I empathized with the mother of the missing girl, the drugs theme seems to be in so many stories these days that it wasn't interesting to me. And the ending disappointed me altogether -- what mother would bring her daughter back to live in the community where she had so many bad memories? Sorry, just not for me.

Just so-so
I usually do like mysteries. Yet this one didn't "grab me". The plot seemed good. It was interesting idea to have the lead detective be a woman who had just broken us with with same-sex partner. I just never looked forward to reading it. I didn't have any interest in knowing more about the characters.
