Sam Blake recommends
The Ruin (2018)
(Cormac Reilly, book 1)
Dervla McTiernan
"Loved every page . . . Cormac Reilly is a brilliant new character, so real you can hear his footsteps on the stairs. Utterly gripping, brilliantly executed story."
The Poison Garden (2019)
Alex Marwood
"Absolutely chilling. Alex Marwood's characters are hauntingly real - evil is always just below the surface. Another brilliant, shockingly dark book from a master storyteller."
56 Days (2021)
Catherine Ryan Howard
"A tense, edgy and compulsive read - 56 Days is brilliantly plotted, darkly humorous and utterly unexpected. This is Lockdown, but not as you know it."
