Shona MacLean recommends
Noble Beasts (2026)
Lucy Waverley
"This is a magnificent novel - vivid, moving and utterly convincing. It is perfectly balanced and the writing is beautiful. I am certain that Noble Beasts announces Lucy Waverley as a major new talent."
A Schooling in Murder (2025)
Andrew Taylor
"Andrew Taylor re-invents the classic crime story with the dark aplomb of a modern master."
The Bells of Westminster (2024)
Leonora Nattrass
"A hugely enjoyable book, filled with memorable and utterly engaging characters who come to life in the vastness, galleries, cloister walks and hidden stairways of their world. The mystery, rooted in the competing contemporary theories of science, antiquarianism and folk belief, is garlanded with enticing depictions of the abbey's treasures. I hope to hear more of Susan, Lindley and especially the marvellous Cuthbert, the parrot."
