Allan Massie recommends
Frame 37 (2026)
Nicholas Shakespeare
"Frame 37 finds John Dyer coming into conflict with an old university classmate now running for high office. The title agreeably suggests dark tricks. He is a novelist who blends public and private lives persuasively in a way that is reminiscent of a master of this sort of novel, Graham Greene."
The Unrecovered (2025)
Richard Strachan
"Ambitious... his audacious novel will give much pleasure to many people."
The Fair Folk (2024)
Su Bristow
"An accomplished and intelligent novel, a fine piece of craftsmanship and a pleasure to read."
