S J Bennett recommends

The Art of a Lie (2025)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"This book is an absolute treat, with deceit layered on deceit. As always, Laura brings Georgian London to life in all its wit and wickedness. I devoured the story like a bowl of fresh iced cream, and I won't be able to walk the length of Piccadilly without thinking of Hannah Cole and her shop of sweet temptations. As William Deveraux says to Henry Fielding, 'You'll divide your days between the before and after'"

Can You Solve the Murder? (2025)
(Can You Solve the Murder?, book 1)
Antony Johnston
"This is a story for puzzle lovers everywhere - but only you can separate the real clues from the red herrings. It's an unusual tale where you really are the detective, and just make sure you don't accidentally die in the process. Antony Johnston masterfully guides you through."

The Gatsby Gambit (2025)
Claire Anderson Wheeler
"Like so many, I'm familiar with the dazzling, tragic characters of The Great Gatsby. But in this reimagining of their world, Claire sheds new light on who suffers, and who succeeds. As well as a mystery, it's a coming of age story for Jay's younger sister, Gigi, and I loved her growing insights into her privileged life, and what it costs. It's an accomplished and satisfying read imbued with the luxury and lurking danger in the jewel of West Egg."
