Twenty-Seven Minutes (2024)Ashley Tate"I raced through this suspenseful debut. I loved the smart dialogue, the sense of foreboding, and the stunning setting. But, most of all, I was hooked by the characters, the twists, and the 'Who on earth could have done this?' puzzle. Definitely a writer to watch."The Square (2023)Celia Walden"Celia has a knack for getting into her characters' heads - and through their front doors. Intriguingly delicious." One Last Secret (2022)Adele Parks"Adele Parks goes fearlessly into worlds which others might balk at. She pulls it off every time. One Last Secret opened my eyes." The Curfew (2022)T M Logan"This will strike right to the heart of every teenage parent. I lost sleep over this one (in a good way!). Addictive, unexpected, scary and compelling." Her Perfect Family (2021)Teresa Driscoll"Intriguing. Different. I raced through it beyond my usual 'lights-out' time. You simply HAVE to read to the end to find out what happens." I Have Something to Tell You (2021)Susan Lewis"I was hooked by the suspenseful plotting, depth of character and legal backdrop. This is a deep book which I greatly enjoyed. Rather like an appetite-wetting five course meal with a surprise menu." The Book of Sand (2021)Theo Clare"Fearless and compelling, lyrical and devastating by turns, the story never slackens pace. A stunning introduction to a wholly original world." The Thursday Murder Club (2020)(Thursday Murder Club, book 1)Richard Osman"What a tonic! A scrumptious mixture of wry humour, poignancy, OAP rebellion and the unexpected. I've never read a murder mystery like this one before. Should be on prescription." The Search Party (2020)Simon Lelic"A chillingly complex, well-crafted web. The voices cry out from Simon Lelic's pages as if they are standing right next to you." The Safe Place (2020)Anna Downes"Compellingly disturbing. Anna Downes is a powerful story writer who will lull you into a false sense of security - and then pounce. An author to be watched." Who We Were (2020)B M Carroll"Reminds the reader that at the heart of many a seemingly confident adult, there lurks an insecure child. Riveting." Little Friends (2019)The Playground
Jane Shemilt"Little Friends is beautifully written. I was in the kitchen; in the garden; on holiday with all the characters. And I was there at the fallout. Jane Shemilt has a talent for taking you into her world - but be careful. It might not be what you think..." The Dilemma (2019)B A Paris"BA Paris is a mistress at tapping into fears you didn’t even know you had. This is a poignant, thoughtful family tale with a difference." After the End (2019)Clare Mackintosh"This is the most moving book I have read this year. After the End made me cry but in the best possible way. I felt I was there, right inside the pages, wanting to hug each character. Put this on the top of your list. You won't regret it." My Lovely Wife (2019)Samantha Downing"The twist at the end of the first chapter made me read through the night. Clever. Manipulative. Dark. Disturbing. What more can you ask for?" A Version of the Truth (2019)The Couple's Secret
B P Walter"Beguiling, surprising and sometimes shocking. Cleverly crafted with characters who stay with you. Highly-polished debut." The Au Pair (2018)Emma Rous"This will keep you turning those pages. The characters are still playing on my mind." Before I Find You (2018)Ali Knight"A sharp, witty psychological suspense with a difference. Be prepared for a fast ride and an unexpected destination." The Guilty Wife (2017)Elle Croft"What a clever idea! This kept me reading through the night to see how 'the guilty wife' would get out of this one..." Final Girls (2017)Riley Sager"An intriguing original idea. We’ve all shuddered at bloodbath stories - but how does the survivor cope? It made me think outside the psychological box. Fresh voice, great characterisation and unexpected surprises. This stayed in my mind because it was different." Visitors also looked at these authors
