James Delargy recommends

The Last to Know (2020)
Jo Furniss
"These characters jump off the page, their lives and past dredged up, detailed without being overbearing. And the story expertly told. It dragged me along, never letting up until it all clicked into place during a thrilling finale. This deserves to be big!"

Last Place You Look (2021)
(Butler & West, book 1)
Louisa Scarr
"Fantastic story and characterisation with a pair of detectives who are battling their own demons amidst an apparent suburban suicide."

Buried (2021)
Elle Croft
"Buried is an intense battle of wills between a serial killer and their victim when they are trapped underground together after a massive earthquake. This is an excellent concept that is seen through with great skill with the battle for survival intensifying as the victim begins to learn who the serial killer is and what he is capable of."

Truly, Darkly, Deeply (2022)
