It Should Have Been You (2025)
Andrea Mara
"A simple, ordinary mistake explodes into a suburban nightmare in this hugely compelling, one-sitting read packed full of thrilling moments and genuinely surprising twists. Andrea Mara is at the very top of her game."
thumb
Cat Fight (2025)
Kit Conway
"In the heat of summer, a panther stalks an exclusive slice of suburbia . . . or does it? I would've thought it impossible to write genuinely original domestic suspense at this point, but Kit Conway has done so with aplomb. Twisty, sharp (clawed) and deliciously unhinged."

The Death of Us (2025)
Abigail Dean
"Emotionally astute and effortlessly devastating. Excellent."
