A Schooling in Murder (2025)
Andrew Taylor
"This most unusual murder mystery - in which the reader is aligned with the murder victim after her death - is an absolute triumph. Andrew Taylor turns the conventions of mystery stories on their head to explore secrets hidden just beneath the surface within a closed community. A Schooling in Murder is clever, tender and utterly haunting."

Marginal (2024)
Tom Carlisle
"In this compelling and gruesome novel, we're invited to determine whether humans might be the real monsters. Tom Carlisle achieves a balancing act between satisfyingly gross set-pieces and thought-provoking discussion with enviable ease."
thumb
Three Eight One (2024)
Aliya Whiteley
"There's nothing like a new Aliya Whiteley novel, and no Aliya Whiteley novel is like any other. Three Eight One may be her most enigmatic work to date, a parable of maturation and the milestones of life that is at once mythical and down-to-earth. I adored every moment of it, and I found it overwhelming in its scope, honesty and emotional impact. It's certainly one of the best novels I've read this year."
