Tim Leach recommends
Florenzer (2025)
Phil Melanson
"A superb debut that encompasses both the agony and the ecstasy of Renaissance Florence-the ferocious political scheming of the Medicis and the exquisite wonder of art and the church."
Spitting Gold (2024)
Carmella Lowkis
"Set in rain-soaked 19th century Paris, Spitting Gold is a tale of two sisters and a perfectly paced gothic heist. This world of spiritualist hucksters and scheming aristocrats is brilliantly evoked, and it's a story told with real heart."
Cecily (2021)
Annie Garthwaite
"An intimate, vivid, and compulsively page turning retelling of the Wars of the Roses. At the centre of it all is Cecily herself - ferocious to her enemies, loving to her family, both cannily pragmatic and willing to take the greatest of risks for the greatest of prizes."
