Jojo Moyes recommends
thumb
The Dogwalkers' Detective Agency (2025)
Michael Hogan
"Charming, big-hearted, and with a gigantic twist. But frankly, you had me at dogs."
thumb
The Fathers (2025)
John Niven
"Like the bastard son of Irvine Welsh and Martin Amis, Niven manages to appal, amuse, terrify and make your heart ache in the same paragraph."
thumb
Don't Let Him in (2025)
Lisa Jewell
"Reading a Lisa Jewell is like putting yourself inside a pressure cooker - one that you don't really want to get out of. Nobody creates characters like she does - and in Nick she has created one of her darkest, twistiest yet."
