Jo Callaghan recommends
Deadline (2025)
Steph McGovern
"Thrilling, funny and an insightful look behind the TV scenes as well as a powerful exploration of class and power."
The Art of a Lie (2025)
Laura Shepherd-Robinson
"In this novel, Laura Shepherd-Robinson displays the art of a truly masterful storyteller: it is captivating, compelling, and so, so clever, but like all the best stories it will capture your heart. It is as exquisite as the iced cream that Hannah Cole concocts and long after you have finished you will not be able to forget it. I absolutely adored it and cannot recommend it highly enough."
Some of Us Are Liars (2025)
Fiona Cummins
"Heartbreaking, dark and beautifully written. I have reread the penultimate chapter three times and am still gasping."
