John Connolly recommends
Killing Jericho (2023)
(Killing Jericho, book 1)
William Hussey
"A distinctive detective, a striking setting, and macabre murders - what more could a reader ask for?"
The Other Side of Night (2022)
Adam Hamdy
"A strange, compelling, and ultimately moving head-spinner of a novel."
Death and the Conjuror (2022)
(Joseph Spector, book 1)
Tom Mead
"An engrossing tale of murder and magicians, and a revealing exploration of the ever-popular locked-room mystery, Mead's debut is a novel to intrigue and delight."
Deep Water (2022)
Emma Bamford
"A debut thriller that unfolds with the inexorable force of a nightmare, and an object lesson in why some paradises should stay lost."
The Chill (2020)
Scott Carson
"The year’s best spine-tingler is already here. THE CHILL is a good old-fashioned ghost story, meticulously researched and brilliantly executed. If you’ve ever wished for a cross between ‘Chinatown’ and ‘The Fog,’ Scott Carson has answered your dark prayers..."
