Amanda Cassidy recommends
Buyer Beware (2026)
Catherine Ryan Howard
"In Buyer Beware, Catherine Ryan Howard proves once again that she is one of the most intelligent voices in contemporary suspense. A sharp, controlled and deeply unsettling novel which constructs its tension brick by brick. A hugely clever premise that evolves into a plotline that you'll never see coming. This is a brilliant, psychologically piercing thriller that I found impossible to put down."
It Should Have Been You (2025)
Andrea Mara
"The plot is razor-sharp, the suspense unrelenting, and the stakes? Higher than you'll ever expect. This is a thrilling, addictive ride that you won't want to put down. Classic Andrea Mara-I loved it!"
The Killing Sense (2025)
Sam Blake
"A masterfully crafted thriller that immerses you in the haunting streets of Paris as a tense game of cat and mouse unfolds. Blake has a sharp eye for detail and a gift for building suspense. The Killing Sense is both chilling and compelling.This is 'one more chapter' reading at its finest."
