Heather Critchlow recommends
Seven Days (2024)
Robert Rutherford
"Simultaneously a high-octane race across continents to save a condemned man, and a thriller that asks big questions about guilt, family and forgiveness, it is dark, compelling and full of heart."
A Lesson in Cruelty (2024)
Harriet Tyce
"Mysterious and beautifully-constructed with an electrifying pace and dark undercurrents, A Lesson in Cruelty is a white-knuckle, gripping read."
Crow Moon (2024)
(Martha Strangeways Investigation, book 1)
Suzy Aspley
"Deliciously gothic - dripping forests, terrifying disappearances and a haunting resolution."
