Louise Minchin recommends
Our Beautiful Mess (2025)
Adele Parks
"A wickedly twisty story about dangerous family secrets and lies. A fire-cracker."
Runner 13 (2025)
Amy McCulloch
"Runner 13 is an utterly brilliant immersive thriller set in a terrifyingly arduous adventure race think Agatha Christie meets Marathon de Sables meets the Barkley Marathons. It is smart, visceral and deliciously dark and twisty."
