Alex Gray recommends
Breakneck Point (2022)
(CSI Ally Dymond, book 1)
T Orr Munro
"I genuinely found it hard to put down. The writing is beautifully paced and the double viewpoint creates great tension."
Clearing The Dark (2019)
(Dania Gorska, book 2)
Hania Allen
"Refreshing . . . I look forward to reading more."
The Ruin (2018)
(Cormac Reilly, book 1)
Dervla McTiernan
"There are not many books that will keep me reading from start to finish but Dervla McTiernan's THE RUIN did just that . . . An excellent story, very well written . . . this one was a winner for me!"
