This is the second book by Jane Harper I have read in the past six months. I was going to put a bit more time between reads but I just couldn’t help myself. I loved Harper’s first novel, The Dry, and I’m very happy to report I burned through this one like a raging fever […]

posted by Ms K
So Eleanor Oliphant is completely fine, and I have to tell you Readheads, I too am feeling pretty damn fine after reading this gem by Gail Honeyman. Admittedly, this book started off a little shaky and I thought it a bit odd, but the story found its mettle after a few chapters and I then […]
