James Oswald recommends
Yesterday (2017)
Felicia Yap
"A great murder mystery with a unique and unsettling twist. This book delighted and confounded me in equal measure!"
The Chalk Man (2018)
C J Tudor
"It's been a while since I've read such an impressive debut. The pace was perfectly judged, the characters superbly drawn and there's a creeping sense of unease that starts with the prologue and grows throughout the book. And then that ending! It feels so fresh and deserves to be a huge success."
Turn a Blind Eye (2018)
(Maya Rahman, book 1)
Vicky Newham
"Maya is wonderfully complex and human, and the tension ratchets up nicely."
The Hunter (2018)
Andrew Reid
"TOP DRAWER STUFF, AND SHOULD GIVE LEE CHILD AND SIMON KERNICK A FEW SLEEPLESS NIGHTS."
