Amanda Prowse recommends

While My Eyes Were Closed (2016)
Linda Green
"A beautifully crafted novel of knife-edge suspense that held my attention to the very end. I wanted to compare the author to Gillian Flynn or Alice Sebold, but that wouldn't be right. This book is one hundred percent Linda Green, and Linda Green is bloody brilliant!"

My Husband's Wives (2016)
Faith Hogan
"Thoroughly enjoyed it, fab story."

These Tangled Vines (2021)
Julianne MacLean
"These Tangled Vines is a breathtaking novel that explores the complicated depths of the human heart when surprising family secrets are revealed. It’s riveting, soulful, and deeply romantic—a beautiful heartbreaker. I couldn’t put it down."
