Tim Major recommends

The Misheard World (2026)
Aliya Whiteley
"In The Misheard World, Aliya Whiteley deftly conjures an alien world that echoes our own, or perhaps it's the other way around... This quiet, contemplative novel is at first preoccupied with stories, symbols and the remnants of the past, but gradually the canvas widens so that it's the very nature of reality that's scrutinised. Across all her work Aliya Whiteley never puts a foot wrong, and the wild world-building of The Misheard World is another triumph to add to her list of many."
thumb
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."
