One of the Good Guys (2024)
Araminta Hall
"One of the Good Guys is clever, crafty, and thought-provoking. I felt like I was reading about events that were actually taking place in real time. We live in febrile times and this novel perfectly captures this zeitgeist. I can't express this enough when I say, trust no one. Brilliant, timely, and necessary. Really enjoyed it."
