Hester Musson recommends

The Repentants (2026)
Kate Foster
"I loved it! Original, fascinating and hugely compelling, The Repentants leaves a taste of salt, sulphur and a lust for life against all odds that lingers long after the last page."

The Midnight Carousel (2025)
Fiza Saeed McLynn
"The Midnight Carousel whirls the reader around to unexpected places - a moving story of survival and love, with an ingeniously contrived mystery at its heart. I completely surrendered to its magic."

The Woman in the Wallpaper (2025)
Lora Jones
"An enthralling story, deftly plotted, with a mystery that winds ever more tightly around the characters, as relentless as the advancing French Revolution with all its hopes and terrors."
