Anna Mazzola recommends
The Midnight Hour (2024)Eve Chase"An engrossing, atmospheric and beautifully written story of a woman trying to turn back the hands of time. I always love an Eve Chase, but this is my favourite so far."Spitting Gold (2024)Carmella Lowkis"A clever, atmospheric and sparkling Gothic debut with compelling characters and brilliant prose. Reminded me of Sarah Waters." Disobedient (2023)Elizabeth Fremantle"Outstanding. A powerful novel about women who are shamed and silenced, and how they learn to survive. A literary knockout." 73 Dove Street (2023)Julie Owen Moylan"Another absolute cracker from Julie Owen Moylan. The compelling and vividly-evoked story of three brave and complex women in 1950s London." Fyneshade (2023)Kate Griffin"What a devious and delightful tale. In Marta, Kate Griffin gives us one the most inventive and compelling characters of recent years. A gloriously gothic and often darkly funny story. I devoured it whole." The Assistant (2023)Amanda Reynolds"Marvellously dark, clever, twisty and relevant. Highsmith for the modern age. I was completely gripped." Other Women (2023)Emma Flint"A glittering black diamond of a book. Beautiful and devastating literary true crime. Emma Flint takes a real murder from the 1920s and gives voice to the women involved. Bubbling anger beneath exquisite prose." Complicit (2022)Winnie M Li"A fearless and brilliant novel about power, ambition and abuse in the film industry and what it means to be a survivor." Cyberspies (2022)(Swift and Hawk, book 1)Logan Macx"A brilliantly written spy mystery, with a fast-moving plot, characters that leap from the page, and a cornucopia of coding and tech to keep young readers riveted." The Key in the Lock (2022)Beth Underdown"A dark and poignant Cornish tale of grief, love and the unpicking of long-buried secrets. Set in 1888 and 1918 with shades of Du Maurier and Sarah Waters." The Hidden (2019)Mary Chamberlain"Shines a piercing light on the shrouded history of human trafficking and labour camps in the Channel Isles during WW2. A fascinating and powerful story of love, endurance, betrayal and guilt." The Binding (2018)Bridget Collins"What an astounding book … something entirely of its own. Brilliant concept, truly extraordinary writing and a killer plot." The Poison Bed (2018)E C Fremantle"A twisting tale of power, poison and intrigue. Historical fiction with the pull of a psychological thriller." Mr Peacock's Possessions (2018)Lydia Syson"What a powerful, rich and fascinating book. Dark historical events are interwoven with the mystery of a missing child on a remote Pacific island in 1879. Highly compelling." The Silent Companions (2017)Laura Purcell"Not since The Little Stranger has a book so entranced and haunted me. Compelling, bewitching and beautifully written. Read it if you dare."
