Lizzy Barber recommends

The Psychiatrist (2025)
Emma Curtis
"Deviously plotted and perfectly paced, Emma Curtis's latest thriller is a whip smart and deeply compelling story of obsession, manipulation and the lengths we go to protect our reputation. A chilling read."

The Othello Club (2025)
J D Pennington
"A roller coaster of a read, with a knife point of an ending, J. D. Pennington will keep you guessing up until the very last page. Revenge is sweet but murder is sweeter in this page turner of a thriller!"

The Cliffhanger (2025)
Emily Freud
"Proving once again she's the mistress of 'one two punch' twists, Emily Freud's The Cliffhanger is a masterpiece thriller that will reel readers in and leave them totally hooked. With a wonderfully evoked South of France setting, central characters that are as dastardly as they are pitiful, and a plot that whips along at breakneck pace, Freud deftly combines the perfect ingredients for suspense - all the while winking a meta eye at the world of publishing. Thriller fans are in for a total treat!"
