Jessica Bull recommends

A Murder for Miss Hortense (2025)
(Miss Hortense Mysteries, book 1)
Mel Pennant
"Mel Pennant's debut, A Murder for Miss Hortense, is not only an expertly plotted, page-turning mystery, it's also a vibrant tribute to the Windrush generation and a particular kind of woman who will not let injustice rest."

A Most Puzzling Murder (2025)
Bianca Marais
"Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Murder She Wrote in this fun, fresh and quirky take on a gothic mystery."

The Cliffhanger (2025)
Emily Freud
"This Gone Girl-esque thriller, about a husband and wife crime writing duo did not disappoint! Dark, twisty and utterly irresistible - I was captivated by Felix and Emma's destructive dynamic. And the twist, when it came, was the perfect blend of shocking yet inevitable . Bravo Emily Freud!"
