Fiction features heavily in this week’s bestsellers, with books from a trio of crime fiction masters (Harper, Greenwood and Connelly), and literary fiction from award-winning Australian authors that runs the gamut of raw emotion, strange family drama and WWII fable.

Evidently it’s a good time to think deeply about the future of our planet. Barry Jones’s up-to-date look at the challenges faced by increasingly fragile democracies and public institutions has been a popular choice, as has Sir David Attenborough’s deep reflection on his life’s work and legacy.
