Little Disasters (2019)
Sarah Vaughan

Finders, Keepers (2020)
Sabine Durrant
"A fabulous, intelligent read from the hideously unsettling first chapter onwards - Durrant really is the queen of suspense."
How to Belong (2020)
Sarah Franklin
"This set up - the farrier and the butcher - is so unusual, and so engaging. I was VERY curious to see how this relationship between Jo and Tessa would unfold, and Sarah Franklin's skilful weaving of their backstories into the captivating present keeps up a constant, subtle tug of intrigue, as well as thematic poignancy. It's thoughtful, and fresh, and such a vibrant setting. The place feels completely alive - I can walk through it and practically smell those horses, that forest, the butcher's shop, the woodsmoke. And the wider community is also wonderfully colourful and alive. It's just a pleasure to read!"

Anna Bailey
"A terrific debut about guilt, secrets and complex family dynamics... Anna Bailey is definitely one to watch."
