February is one of those months that simply skates by, but it was a good reading month for me, with lots of Australian authors read.11 books altogether, tow audio books, 6 Australian authors and another book set in Australia, 4 library books.
My pick of the month was THE MISTAKE by Wendy James but as you'll see from the list a few other close contenders: THE BAT by Jo Nesbo, THE BETRAYAL by Y.A.Erskine, and DEGREES OF CONNECTION by Jon Cleary
- 4.7, THE BAT, Jo Nesbo - audio book
- 4.2, MRS QUEEN TAKES THE TRAIN, William Kuhn - library book
- 4.4, SHADOW OF THE ROCK, Thomas Mogford - library book
- 4.7, THE BETRAYAL, Y.A.Erskine - library book, Aussie author
- 3.9, THE PRICE OF FAME, R.C. Daniells - Kindle, Aussie author
- 4.5, GHOST MONEY, Andrew Nette - Kindle, Aussie author
- 4.4, DARK CITY BLUE, Luke Preston - Kindle, Aussie author
- 4.8, THE MISTAKE, Wendy James - library book, Aussie author
- 4.0, REVENGE OF THE TIDE, Elizabeth Haynes - library book
- 4.7, DEGREES OF CONNECTION, Jon Cleary - audio book from library, Aussie author
- 4.3, BABYLON, Camilla Ceder - library book, translated
THE MISTAKE was another fascinating read from Australian author Wendy James. (I read WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? last year).Jodie Garrow kept a secret about her first baby, Elsa Mary, for twenty four years. When her teenage daughter Hannah breaks her leg on a school excursion she is hospitalised by chance at the very hospital where Jodie gave birth to her first child. Hannah shares a genetic characteristic with the earlier baby, and by chance a nurse at the hospital recognises this and then recognises Jodie. Thus begins the chain of events that leads to the investigation of what happened to baby Elsa Mary Evans.

Kerrie - I agree completely about The Mistake. It's a terrific novel with some great characterisation. For me anyway it's been one of those 'stay with you' books.
