The Midnight Clock (2024)
Jamie Costello
"A marvellously exciting - and thought-provoking - time-travelling murder mystery. Smart, funny, moving, atmospheric - I laughed a lot, cried once, could not stop reading, and now actually believe in time travel."
thumb
Dead Rich (2022)
G W Shaw
"Great storytelling with marvellously created tension and cunning twists, and engaging characters."
