Charlotte Philby recommends
thumb
The Cliffhanger (2025)
Emily Freud
"Pacy and entertaining, The Cliffhanger is a dark, escapist page-turner with a twist to die for."
thumb
Notes on a Drowning (2025)
Anna Sharpe
"A timely and hugely entertaining political thriller written with humour and sensitivity, and an important story at its heart. Anna Sharpe has created something fresh and new, and I can't wait for the next one."
thumb
The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby (2024)
Ellery Lloyd
"An original, compulsive and brilliantly told mystery set within a world of secrets and privilege spanning decades and continents. Like a reversal of the painting at its centre, the layers of the story are carefully peeled back until the picture is revealed. From the first page to the last, I loved it."
