Paula Daly recommends

The Good Listener (2026)
Holly Watt
"The Good Listener is a taut, elegant thriller that grips from the first page and won't let you look away. Holly Watt balances heart-pounding suspense with nuanced characterisation, giving the main character, Clara, depth beyond her tragedy. Tense, assured, and heartbreakingly human."

We Know You Know (2019)
Erin Kelly
"STONE MOTHERS is a pitch-perfect, beautifully-written, literary crime novel. I pressed my copy into the hands of a friend as soon as I'd finished it."

Sleep (2019)
C L Taylor
"I raced through Sleep in less than a day. It’s chilling, wonderfully atmospheric, and with a knock-out ending I can’t stop thinking about."
