After the Storm (2024)
G D Wright
"What an absolute rollercoaster ride of a book. Reminding me of Broadchurch, with its small town feel & its taut, propulsive plot, After The Storm is truly gripping."

Pity Party (2024)
Daisy Buchanan

The Betrayal of Thomas True (2024)

"Quite simply divine - historical, a thriller, comedic, fantastical and, above all, a love story that had me in all sorts of tears."
