Charlie Higson recommends
Quantum of Menace (2025)
(Q Mystery, book 1)
Vaseem Khan
"Excellent. An entertaining mash-up of Fleming, Le Carre and the best of British detective fiction."
The Fathers (2025)
John Niven
"Refreshing and memorable. In the midst of our hard, bleak world, Niven manages to find humour and tenderness, gleefully driving his bulldozer down the middle of the road."
Pop! (2021)
Mitch Johnson
"An exploding soda geyser of a book - an adventure story that will make you laugh, make you angry and make you want to do something to fix this crazy, messed up world."
