Paula Hawkins recommends
thumb
The Echoes (2024)
Evie Wyld
"I've loved all of Evie Wyld's novels, but I think this may be my favourite. Like all the best ghost stories, The Echoes is also a love story. It's funny and moving and has such intelligent things to say about family, about shared histories and grief and the ways people find to heal themselves."
thumb
The God of the Woods (2024)
Liz Moore
"A rare gem, an immersive and enthralling literary thriller: a novel about love in the aftermath of tragedy, and about families of the very best - and the worst - kind."
thumb
The Lions' Den (2024)
Iris Mwanza
"A vibrant and pacey legal thriller with a big-hearted heroine you'll be rooting for from the very first page."
