Staff Suggestions

Here are our favourite picks for some sultry summer reading: 

• Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

 Just how well can you ever know the person you love? This is the question that Nick Dunne must ask himself on the morning of his fifth wedding anniversary, when his wife Amy suddenly disappears. The police immediately suspect Nick. Amy's friends reveal that she was afraid of him, that she kept secrets from him. He swears it isn't true. A police examination of his computer shows strange searches. He says they aren't his. And then there are the persistent calls on his mobile phone. So what really did happen to Nick's beautiful wife? And what was in that half-wrapped box left so casually on their marital bed? In this novel, marriage truly is the art of war.

• Scorched by Annette Henderson

Scorched is the inspiring journey of an extraordinary adventure, a journey of self-discovery, rich with unforgettable human encounters across language and cultural barriers. Told with passion, humour, and insight, Scorched takes the reader into a world few independent travellers dared to tackle in 1975, and is a thrilling prequel to the story of Annette and Win's life in the remote mountainous rainforest of Gabon recounted in Wild Spirit. 

• DVD:  Who Do You Think You Are? Series 4 $29.95

Australian celebrities play detective as they go in search of their family history. Featuring Shaun Micallef, Kerry O'Brien, Melissa George, Vince Colosimo, John Wood, and Michael O'Loughlin.
