Before It's Too Late (2015)
(DI Will Jackman, book 1)
Jane Isaac
"An involving and clever plot; a sympathetic protagonist. In a crowded field, Jane Isaac writes like a seasoned professional."
Brothers in Blood (2017)
(Zaq & Jags, book 1)
Amer Anwar
"An engaging hero, a cunning plot, and a fascinating journey into Southall's underworld. We'll be hearing a lot more from Amer Anwar."
The Irregular (2017)
(Irregular Spy, book 1)
H B Lyle
"A fine first entry in what promises to be a great new series. Wiggins is a captivating hero, and Lyle draws his Edwardian backstreets in convincing color. The game is most definitely afoot."
The Night Visitor (2017)
Lucy Atkins
"The tension is immediate and unrelenting; the sense of unease palpable . . . a gripping, Rendellesque read."
Last Stop Tokyo (2017)
James Buckler
"A fine debut - fast-paced and bleak, with a vivid setting and gut-wrenching twists."
My Little Eye (2017)
(Starke & Bell, book 1)
Stephanie Marland
"The first novel in what promises to be a riveting new series, My Little Eye is a one-sitting read: gripping, clever and worringly plausible."
Head Case (2018)
(Tom Mondrian, book 1)
Ross Armstrong
"Quirky, offbeat, stylish and original. I loved it."
Need to Know (2018)
Karen Cleveland
"Gripping, tense, and packed full of insider knowledge. A need-to-read."
Killing State (2018)
(Michael North, book 1)
Judith O'Reilly
"Fast-paced and packed with action ... A series hero to watch."
The Craftsman (2018)
(Craftsman Trilogy, book 1)
Sharon Bolton
"Sharon Bolton raises the bar with each new book. The Craftsman goes to some very dark places, and will have readers looking nervously over their shoulders with every page they turn."
Firefly (2018)
(Paul Samson, book 1)
Henry Porter
"A welcome return ... Firefly is both timely and terrific."
The Old Religion (2018)
(Tom Killgannon, book 1)
Martyn Waites
"A chilling slice of country noir. Great stuff."
The Puppet Show (2018)
(Washington Poe, book 1)
M W Craven
"A thrilling curtain raiser for what looks set to be a great new series."
A House of Ghosts (2018)
W C Ryan
"A splendid tale of wartime skullduggery, featuring both kinds of spooks - perfect fireside reading."
On My Life (2019)
Angela Clarke
"An angry, powerful read - one of those rare crime novels with more to deliver than routine thrills."
The Whisper Man (2019)
Alex North
"A novel about the dark places that are recognisably our own, The Whisper Man plays on our emotions as much as on our fears. A tremendous calling card for the brilliant Alex North."
Pine (2020)
Francine Toon
"If there's any doubt that the Gothic thriller is enjoying a boom, Francine Toon's debut should settle the matter. PINE, a moving study of memory and loss, is both spooky and tender; drenched in a sense of place and yet eerily timeless."
Fifty-Fifty (2020)
(Eddie Flynn, book 5)
Steve Cavanagh
"Eddie's back! Steve Cavanagh writes the best hooks in the business."
