Hard Girls (2024)
(Jane and Lila Pool, book 1)
J Robert Lennon
"J. Robert Lennon's Hard Girls is a mother-daughter thriller unlike any I've ever read. It's a simple-enough premise - two sisters set off to track down their long-lost mother - but the narrative twists and turns are as distinctive and surprising as the relationships that propel them. Each and every character is exquisitely rendered here, and sisters Jane and Lila Pool are nothing less than utterly captivating: they are at once brilliant and vulnerable, tender and vicious. I fell head over heels in love with them both - and I know readers will too."

Almost Surely Dead (2024)
Amina Akhtar
"What's a girl to do when the universe seems to want you dead? The answer is nothing you'd expect-but everything you'd want from one of the most exciting thriller writers in the business. Almost Surely Dead is a sparkling, twisted gem of a book, a riotously funny and deeply unsettling examination of the ways in which we are-and in which we refuse to be-defined by our pasts. This is Akhtar's best work yet, and I loved every word."

Dirty Laundry (2023)
Disha Bose
"Rendered in skillful prose and animated by the author's keen eye for psychological detail, Disha Bose charts a bracing, unconventional path through the familiar landscape of domestic suspense. . . . A captivating debut by an enormously talented author."
