Kate Kemp recommends
Paper Cut (2026)
Rachel Taff
"The book is so cleverly constructed... the result is a compelling, tightly-plotted page-turner, as glimpses of the truth appear."
The Killer Question (2025)
Janice Hallett
"Janice Hallett is a one-of-a-kind genius... Compelling, multilayered, intricately plotted, clever, full of surprises and exceedingly funny, all told with Janice's usual, brilliant quirks."
Lime Juice Money (2025)
Jo Morey
"It's transporting and immersive and I felt entirely swept along. Jo Morey, with her lively prose, brings the jungle of Belize to life in all its lush glory. This is a story of lies dressed up as truths, the fallibility of memory, and the tension between new beginnings and ties from the past. It's a perfect summertime read and I hope you all pick it up and enjoy it as much as I have."
