Elizabeth Haynes recommends

The Magpies (2013)
(Magpies, book 1)
Mark Edwards
"Mark Edwards achieves what other writers yearn for, by creating characters that genuinely feel like real people, individuals you know personallyand then puts them into the scariest of situations so that we cannot help but suffer with them. Edwards takes the places that should feel safe and subverts them, shifting the ground beneath our feet, until we’re left clinging to the book, hoping against hope for a positive conclusion. There’s something deeply unsettling about The Magpies and that’s exactly as it should be."

The Sixth Window (2017)
(DI Tom Douglas, book 6)
Rachel Abbott
"I am in awe of Rachel Abbott's plotting! The Sixth Window is Abbott at her best, with pageturning twists to the very end. Recommend it to your best friend and your book group - you will want to discuss it with everyone you know."

Gillian McAllister
"Tense, thrilling and compelling - this is a book to devour."
