Amanda Reynolds recommends

The Break-In (2025)
Katherine Faulkner
"The Break-In has Katherine's trademark aspirational London living hallmarks, plus a clever twisty plot and evocative writing on motherhood and female friendship. Loved it!"

The Shell House Detectives (2023)
(Shell House Detectives Mystery, book 1)
Emylia Hall
"The Shell House Detectives is a hug of a book that is transporting and full of love, with a humdinger of a mystery at its big heart."
