Pat Barker recommends

The Telling (1998)
Miranda Seymour
"One of the most skillful depictions of the power of evil I have read for a long time."

The Porpoise (2019)
Mark Haddon
"Staggeringly ambitious, innovative, beautifully written... The Porpoise has the pace of a really good thriller, but combined with a subtlety and depth that few thrillers possess."
