Joseph Knox recommends

Children of Wolves (2026)
Lawrence Osborne
"Osborne continues to push his brand of haunted escapism into strange, new places - even if for many of his characters, escape itself proves impossible. A pack of idle rich kids, desperate to give their lives meaning through a senseless act of violence. And Tyler, the older, unmoored private detective at their heels, who realises too late that this generation gap might be unbridgeable. Just don't go confusing him with the novel's author. In Children of Wolves, Osborne stays a comfortable step ahead of writers half his age."

Oxblood (2022)
Tom Benn
"If I read a better novel than Oxblood in 2022, it'll be a blinding year for fiction. Tom Benn, please take a bow. Everybody else, please take note."

The Second Cut (2022)
(Rilke, book 2)
Louise Welsh
"One of the most enjoyable mysteries I've read this year, The Second Cut had me from the word go. Rilke's world feels rife with possibilities for dark doings - and Welsh's writing is fresh, funny, fearless and fun."
