The Barbecue at No.9 (2026)
Jennie Godfrey
"Gripping, suspenseful, moving, perfectly constructed - and every bit as good as, if not better than, its stonkingly successful predecessor, The List of Suspicious Things."
The Death of Us (2025)
Abigail Dean
"Absolutely sublime-ly incredible flawless masterpiece. My book of the year."
The Inheritance (2025)
Trisha Sakhlecha
"Masterful, gripping and unpredictable - this murder mystery will have you on the edge of your seat."
