Jigsaw
When a young woman is found dead at her kitchen table - with DNA belonging to her ex-boyfriend at the scene - psychologist Alex Delaware and Detective Milo Sturgis assume it's an open-and-shut case.
But the guy has an airtight alibi. Could an enemy from his shady past have framed him?
Many miles away, a former LAPD officer is found brutally murdered in her garage. Her co-workers knew her as meticulously organized, but her house is full of junk and meaningless objects - except for the envelopes full of cash hidden within the chaos...
But as Alex and Milo dig deeper, they discover shocking links between the victims. It soon becomes clear they have a complicated - and deadly - puzzle to solve.

My Husband’s Wife
Eden Fox, an artist on the brink of her big break, sets off for a run before her first exhibition. When she returns to the home she recently moved into, Spyglass, an enchanting old house in Hope Falls, nothing is as it should be. Her key doesn't fit. A woman, eerily similar to her, answers the door. And her husband insists that the stranger is his wife.
One house. One husband. Two women. Someone is lying.
Six months earlier, a reclusive Londoner called Birdy, reeling from a life-changing diagnosis, inherits Spyglass. This unexpected gift from a long-lost grandmother brings her to the pretty seaside village of Hope Falls. But then Birdy stumbles upon a shadowy London clinic that claims to be able to predict a person's date of death, including her own. Secrets start to unravel, and as the line between truth and lies blurs, Birdy feels compelled to right some old wrongs.
Antihero
Two problems- A tech-billionaire whose psychological crisis could have catastrophic implications for the global order. And the abduction of vulnerable young woman, Anca, seized from the New York City Subway, held, hurt, then discarded like trash.
One solution- Evan Smoak, a former black ops assassin codenamed Orphan X, now dedicated to helping the desperate with nowhere else to turn.
But saving the world from a powerful man who has lost his mind while pursuing justice for an innocent survivor will test Evan like never before. Especially when complicated by Anca's inconvenient insistence that he show some measure of mercy to the men who abducted her.
Because if the world's greatest assassin cannot kill, then this mission just got a whole lot more daunting and dangerous.
As lethal threats mount, Evan may have to choose between upholding a higher code . . . and his own life.
Staged
When a Hollywood star is killed live on stage, the entire cast falls under suspicion … Can a disgraced journalist and a rule-bending detective with a PhD in AI crack the case?
A Sydney Opera House production of The Rocky Horror Show ends in tragedy when a stage prop kills Hollywood star Dane Cooder in a spectacularly gruesome fashion. The whole theatre, including his wife and co-star Angelique Swan, watch in horror.
The death is ruled an accident, but Dick Sonntag, disgraced journalist with online gossip site WTF, disagrees. Sonntag is in the audience that night and investigates further. He launches a smash-hit podcast about the celebrity death and, due to the public outcry, the case is reopened.
At the same time, a small boy is kidnapped and held for ransom.
Detective Harry Stiles is brought in to lead both cases. She despises Sonntag: the last time they crossed paths, he derailed her investigation involving police corruption. Will Harry’s artificial intelligence skills help them pin down the culprits this time?
As the investigations unfold, Sonntag and Stiles uncover affairs, dark secrets and blackmail against the backdrop of Sydney Harbour.
Anatomy of an Alibi
Everyone at Chantilly's Bar noticed out-of-towner Camille Bayliss. Red lips, designer heels, sipping a Negroni. But that woman wasn't Camille Bayliss. It was Aubrey Price. Camille Bayliss appears to have the picture-perfect life; she's married to hotshot lawyer Ben and is the daughter of a wealthy Louisiana family. Only nothing is as it seems: Camille believes Ben has been hiding dirty secrets for years, but she can't find proof because he tracks her every move. Aubrey Price has been haunted by the terrible night that changed her life a decade ago, and she's convinced Benjamin Bayliss knows something about it. Living in a house full of criminals, Aubrey understands there's more than one way to get to the truth - and she may have found the best way in. Aubrey and Camille hatch a plan. It sounds simple: For twelve hours, Aubrey will take Camille's place. Camille will spy on Ben, and the two women will get the answers they desperately seek. Except the next morning, Ben is found murdered. Both women need an airtight alibi, but only one of them has it. And one false step is all it takes for everything to come undone.

The Killing Time
Ali Dawson is a police detective who leads a unit that investigates cases so cold her team must travel to the distant past to solve them. But Ali and the team haven't been allowed to time-travel ever since their technical expert, Jones, got stuck in Victorian London, never to be seen again.
To distract herself from meaningless tasks, Ali decides to look into a present-day case - an apparent suicide of a young man who fell to his death from a high building. She believes the death is linked to a psychic medium called Barry Power, who convinced the boy he could fly. Ali goes to one of Power's shows where he claims to be in contact with Jones.
When Ali notices that evening that her cat, Terry, has gone missing, she decides to go back in time just long enough to prevent Terry from escaping through his open cat flap. A dangerous plan which backfires, and she finds herself once more in Victorian London, where she meets Jones, as well as Power, and the darkly mysterious Cain Templeton with whom Ali has unfinished business from her previous visit to the past . . .

“What You Are Looking For Is in the Library” by Michiko Aoyama is a warm and uplifting story about people who feel a little lost in their lives. The book takes place in a small community library in Tokyo, where different characters come in looking for help, sometimes without even knowing exactly what they need. The librarian gives each person a thoughtful book recommendation and a small gift, both of which help them see their situation in a new way.
If you enjoy comforting stories about personal growth and finding purpose, this is a lovely and inspiring read.

Annemieke Mein is a Dutch born Australian textile artist who creates incredible artworks out of all sorts of material such as hand spun cotton, silk stockings and emu feathers. This book provides an insight into her personal life and career as an artist, pairing it with some of her gorgeous creations.
As a visual artist and someone who dabbles in textiles, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at how Mein uses their unique skill and free flowing techniques to encapsulate Australian flora and fauna.
I particularly love her wearable art vests and her moth works. Her creations are highly detailed, tactile, and imaginative, highlighting some of the more curious parts of the natural world.

The Long Walk was one of the first Stephen King novels I ever read, and it completely blew me away and now it even has its own movie!
It’s set in a dystopian version of America where 100 teenage boys must keep walking until only one is left. If you slow down or stop, you get your ticket, an ominous warning that we soon discover is darker than it seems.
The story sounds simple but somehow King manages to make a story about walking a really tense and emotional read.
If you like dystopian stories, want to see where King’s writing roots began or if you’ve seen the movie and are interested in its origins, I’d give it a try.
