Adrian McKinty : Police at the Station and They Don’t Look Friendly., Karen Chisholm , single work review
— Review of Police at the Station and They Don't Look Friendly Adrian McKinty , 2017 single work novel ;
'Part history lesson, part social exploration, the Sean Duffy series from Irish-Australian writer Adrian McKinty is required crime fiction reading.' (Introduction)
Natasha Lester : A Kiss from Mr Fitzgerald, Robin Elizabeth , single work essay

'This new novel from Natasha Lester is best read with gin and jazz.

Natasha Lester gives us all the glitz and glamour of classic romance in her third novel, a work of romantic women’s fiction that takes us back in time to the 1920s. There is gin, there is dancing, but there is also a patriarchal structure that suffocates any achievement by women. There are pretty dresses, and shoes to die for, but there are also graphic scenes of childbirth and the callous abuse of women. All these elements are woven together seamlessly.' (Introduction)

John Kinsella : Old Growth, Carmel Bird , single work essay
'John Kinsella’s short stories reveal flashes of beauty amid the bleakness.'
