Work in progress
I'm 40,000 words into my new novel (my fifth). It's a mystery/thriller/romance set in the Far North of Aotearoa New Zealand in December 2007. It's a departure for me - it's not historical fiction and there's a large dose of romance.Â

| Hoffman could write a menu and I'd give it 5 stars. Love, love, love her writing. This book was magical, atmospheric, strange, emotionally heartwrenching. It was published in 1992 and has real soul to it. I will read it again and again. ...more | |

| 4.5 stars. I enjoyed this book, particularly because of the Norfolk saltmarshes setting. The dynamic between Dr Ruth Galloway and DCI Harry Nelson was well executed. I liked the fluid writing style. But . . . I found the constant reference to Ruth's ...more | |
"This book starts really slow. I couldn't get into it until around pae 150, thus I struggled to read at all and entered a real reading slum but I was determined to push through and I'm glad I did because the story takes a really interesting turn in th"

| What a surprise this little gem of a book was. A sapphic horror story that explores the different stage of grief and what it means when one person in a relationship changes so profoundly that they become unrecognisable. Yes, it's a bit slow but I lov ...more | |
