Ann Cleeves recommends
Quantum of Menace (2025)
(Q Mystery, book 1)
Vaseem Khan
"A wonderful novel, escapist and playful, but with moments of deep tenderness and serious comment."
The Red Shore (2025)
(DS Eden Driscoll, book 1)
William Shaw
"I've always loved Shaw's writing - the clarity of the prose and the terrific characterisation - but I think The Red Shore is perhaps his best yet."
Deadline (2025)
Steph McGovern
"A pacy, witty, engaging thriller, entertaining and delightfully authentic, but hard-hitting and thought-provoking too. I can't wait for you all to read it."
