The governor's house by J. H. Fletcher

At nearly 500p., this book will stop you doing the ironing for a fair while as you follow the rises and falls in love and fortune of Cat Haggard who was wrongly convicted of a crime and transported to Australia. Over time, and with great risks, she builds a business empire in Van Diemen's Land.

Her current day descendant, Joanne, is tasked with unravelling a mystery Cat left behind but will she be able to decipher a coded notebook? This book reminded me of Judy Nunn's The tiger men' with characters braving adversity to achieve their goals.

The long con by Barry Weston

The slightly dodgy Frank Cousins, an ex-Queensland cop turned private investigator, provides an entertaining life for us to ride along with. The owner and sole employer of the Tasmanian Private Investigation Agency cannot seem to stop getting in over his head.

Humour, pathos and a good dose of common sense (courtesy of Frank's old mum and dad) kept me wanting more, and I look forward to more in the Tasmanian Private Investigation Agency series.
