Ann Cleeves recommends
The Death of Us (2023)
Lori Rader-Day
"I was up until 4:00am finishing The Death of Us. It's bloody brilliant. So sharp and tight and clear. I'm proud to have my name attached to it."
Dead Man Walking (2023)
(DS Rick Turner, book 1)
M K Murphy
"Murphy has always been an exciting writer, but this brings the tension to an even greater level. Dead Man Walking is a compulsive thriller with pace, brilliant plotting, and characters who are credible, despite the extraordinary situations in which they find themselves."
Death Under a Little Sky (2023)
(Jake Jackson, book 1)
Stig Abell
"I LOVED this. I found it totally immersive, and couldn't wait to squeeze some time from my day to return to it. The writing is very classy and the conclusion came as a surprise, which is always a treat."
Other Women (2023)
Emma Flint
"The tension grows throughout the book until it's almost unbearable. This is a book that will stay with you."
City Under One Roof (2023)
Iris Yamashita
"A well-crafted novel, told through the eyes of three very different women, with a wonderfully claustrophobic and atmospheric background."
