Fiona Cummins recommends
The Short Straw (2023)Holly Seddon"Three sisters find themselves stranded at the gothic manor house that dominated their troubled childhoods. This irresistible slow-burn thriller is as much a study of family dynamics as it is a creepy & suspense-filled spine-tingler."The Square of Sevens (2023)Laura Shepherd-Robinson"In The Square of Sevens, Laura Shepherd-Robinson excels at recreating the past - in this case, Georgian England - in an authentic way. She invites us to join fortune teller Red on an epic journey to unravel the secrets of her past and we cannot rest until we have answers. Dazzling." No One Saw a Thing (2023)Andrea Mara"As soon as I started reading this, I had no choice but to continue reading until the last page. I DEVOURED it. Such a tense, thrilling ride of a novel that played into my darkest fears and captured the emotions of panicked parents so evocatively." The End of Us (2023)Olivia Kiernan"The End Of Us is that rare book - beautifully written and impossible to put down. A dark, complex and nuanced thriller." The Drift (2023)C J Tudor"Taut, action-packed and oh-so-clever, this thrilling rollercoaster of a ride takes the reader on a journey into the frozen unknown." The Hike (2022)Susi Holliday"I finished this at 5.30am, and could barely tear myself away from this thriller about two couples who go on a deadly hike. Congratulations on this cast of thoroughly nasty characters, a fascinating detective and a drop-dead gorgeous setting. My favourite Susi Holliday book so far." The Favor (2022)Nora Murphy"A beautifully written yet chilling glimpse behind the curtain of relationships gone badly wrong, and the terrifying consequences of what happens when wronged women fight back. Absolutely brilliant." It Ends at Midnight (2022)Harriet Tyce"Harriet Tyce cements her position as Queen of unreliable narrators in It Ends At Midnight. A must-read high stakes-thriller." The House Guest (2021)Charlotte Northedge"The House Guest is that delicious kind of novel, a slow-burn thriller that carefully draws the reader in, catches fire in the middle and burns with an intensity until the end." The Wild Girls (2021)Phoebe Morgan"Phoebe Morgan writes the ultimate just-one-more-page kind of thrillers. In this atmospheric novel set in the suffocating heat of Botswana, a sense of menace permeates every brilliant page. A sinister story of friendship, betrayal and revenge." The Art of Death (2021)David Fennell"A serial killer thriller with the darkest of hearts, David Fennell more than earns his place at the crime fiction table with this superb exploration of a psychopath with the creepiest modus operandi I've read in a long time, and a flawed yet brilliant detective." Strangers (2020)C L Taylor"This masterfully woven story comes together in a thrilling and unexpected climax. I could not put it down." Our Dark Secret (2020)Jenny Quintana"A compulsive page-turner; a beautifully written coming-of-age story; a murder mystery peopled with characters who live and breathe . . . and a brilliant read." On My Life (2019)Angela Clarke"Mesmerising and unflinching. Angela Clarke's meticulously researched book expertly captures the sense of fear and dog-eat-dog mentality that permeates our institutions. A propulsive, utterly compelling novel." Resin (2018)Ane Riel"Absolutely brilliant - such detailed layering of character, moving and creepy as hell. So original and beautifully written and I couldn't wait every night to read it - the mark of a truly compelling book." In Bloom (2018)(Sweetpea, book 2)C J Skuse"Dirty-mouthed, deadly and dark, dark, dark. Adored it." The Cliff House (2018)Amanda Jennings"Amanda Jennings is the real deal. Not only does she write beautifully, she evokes setting and atmosphere with enviable skill whilst keeping the reader compulsively turning the pages. She doesn't just tell you a story, she draws you into it until you can taste the salt in the air, hear the crash of the waves and feel the heat of teenage obsession." Sticks and Stones (2018)The Exes' Revenge
Jo Jakeman"A brilliant debut from an author with a sharp wit and a keen understanding of human nature. I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough." The Break Line (2018)(Max McLean, book 1)James Brabazon"Brimming with authenticity, tightly plotted and beautifully written ... The Break Line is a belter of a thriller." The Confession (2018)Jo Spain"Here is my confession: I've never read Jo Spain before but now I'll be buying all of her books. The Confession is brutal and brilliant." Anatomy of a Scandal (2018)Sarah Vaughan"That rare book that combines great writing, spot-on characterisation and a compulsive, page-turning narrative. I read it in one breathless day. Set against a fascinating backdrop of the Houses of Parliament, the Old Bailey and Oxford University, think House of Cards meets The Secret History. Meticulously researched, this is an outstanding read." Dark Pines (2017)(Tuva Moodyson Mystery, book 1)Will Dean"Will Dean’s atmospheric crime thriller marks him out as a talent to watch. Dark Pines is stylish, compelling and as chilling as a Swedish winter." Sweet Little Lies (2017)(Cat Kinsella, book 1)Caz Frear"A killer premise. An original voice. An utterly compelling story that will keep you up all night." Anthologies containing stories by Fiona Cummins
