This was my Prime Reading pick for November 2023. I enjoy spy thrillers and finding this enjoyable so far. The main character uses a mind palace technique to recall important events and situations and this adds to the storyline.
Night Owl: A Trasker Thriller eBook by Mayne
Loosely based on the 1969 events surrounding Charles Manson and his Family. Part coming of age, part romance, part thriller. The prose is gorgeous. I'll read the next book from Emma Cline in December.
The Girls by Cline, Emma
Patricia MacDonald tells a great story and this book is no exception. The fallout from a tragedy stretches years into the future. Only the persistence of the sole witness brings the truth to light.

The first of 2 books featuring detective Matt Brindle this is a serial killer mystery that does not disappoint. Lots of unexpected twists and a satisfying ending.

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks
Fascinating book no matter what you think about the idea of aliens! In 2017, an observatory in Hawaii picked up an unusual object in the sky which at first glance could have been an asteroid. It didn't behave like an asteroid though and astrophysicist Loeb drew a number of conclusions which you can read about in this book.
Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Life Beyond Earth
This is such a simple system of eating but makes a huge difference to how I feel. This book includes all the science references and sets out the method along with food lists & suggested meal plans. Most definitely not a diet, no calorie counting ...
Glucose Revolution: Power of Balancing
After listening to a podcast about Flight MH370 I picked up this book written by an investigative journalist. It's a very strange case and there are many theories as to what actually happened.
