Lucy Foley recommends

A Particularly Nasty Case (2025)
Adam Kay
"A work of fiendishly plotted genius: hilarious, macabre and heartrending in equal measure."
thumb
She Didn't See it Coming (2025)
Shari Lapena
"Stunning. Fiendishly plotted with whiplash twist and turns - Shari Lapena is at the very top of her game. [She Didn't See It Coming] might be my favorite yet!"

The Burial Place (2025)
(Jake Jackson, book 3)
Stig Abell
"A delight."
