Ruth Jones recommends

Welcome to the Neighbourhood (2026)
Jane Fallon
"Jane Fallon's books never disappoint. She's so good at tapping into the best and the worst in us. Fabulous."

Three Mothers (2025)
Hannah Beckerman
"Proper edge-of-the-seat writing. There were times reading this that I thought my heart rate would go through the roof! The twists and turns in this story are truly gripping - totally unpredictable, I kept gasping in disbelief at the end of each chapter. I love Hannah's writing and once again she has knocked it out of the park. A great moral dilemma tale with big heart and unconditional love at its centre: superb characterization and observation of how we humans tick and how far we'd go to protect those we love. This is Hannah's best novel yet."

Call Time (2023)
Steve Jones
"Joyously unpredictable, clever, witty and warm. Gorgeous!"

Love Marriage (2022)
Monica Ali
"I absolutely loved it. It had me gripped and I was so invested in her brilliant characters with their fallibilities and secrets! I empathized with every one of them and really felt I knew them all as individuals. I loved how she so cleverly interwove their experiences to create such a fabulous story. She writes human frailty so well, and her astute observations on family dynamics are superb. Exquisitely written with big heartedness, intelligence and passion. This will be a hit I have no doubt."
