Welcome! Books on the Window Seat is a place for book lovers to visit for reviews of literature new and old. I don’t actually have a window seat, but if I did, I’d recline upon it and read all day… I like to read both contemporary literary fiction and the classic good stuff, both famous and obscure – even non-fiction sometimes! I won’t like all books, but usually I wouldn’t pick one up unless I thought there was something worthwhile in there… I live in Melbourne, Australia, and am rather partial to local literature, but my reading ambitions are global! In my reviews I aim to be honest, so you can decide whether a book is ‘your cup of tea’ or not. If you need a quick evaluation, just scroll down to the bottom for a brutually short ‘Verdict’. And if you agree/disagree/like/dislike etc, feel free to comment!

The secret of Green hills by Lorraine Venter
Green Hills is a picturesque little town with its surrounding mountains and the tranquil river that flows through it like a silver snake. The very relaxed atmosphere to the small town is perfect for a weekend away from home. But when a young woman is found dead by the river, the town’s tranquil peace is shattered. Constable Peter Cromwell and Inspector Rothman investigate the murder but time is ticking when another woman is murdered. Who could be behind the murders? Could revenge be the motive? Discover the answers as you unravel The Secret of Green Hills. I live in Cape Town South Africa and this is my very first novel. I will appreceate a review of my book. Many thanks. Lorraine
