Nicci Cloke recommends

Darkrooms (2026)
Rebecca Hannigan
"Elegant, unsettling and evocative, Darkrooms is a simmering literary thriller that got under my skin. A haunting exploration of the ties that bind us to the past, and the danger of secrets long buried - I loved it. The last chapter made me cry."

A Killer Wedding (2025)
Joan O'Leary
"A Killer Wedding is packed with juicy secrets, clever twists, and fabulous characters you definitely do not want to be trapped at a destination wedding with. Darkly glamorous, intricately plotted and so much fun, I loved it."

Some of Us Are Liars (2025)
Fiona Cummins
"As tender and compassionate as it is gripping, I couldn't stop turning the pages."
