Everything She Didn't Say (2026) Jane Casey "An intricate and immersive thriller that constantly surprises and never lets go. You can always rely on Jane Casey to be great, but Everything She Didn't Say is exceptional. I can't recommend it enough."
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."
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."
Everyone Here is Lying (2023) Shari Lapena "An incredibly clever set-up that made for one of the most gripping and surprising thrillers I've read in a while. A one-sitting read."
What Remains (2023) Wendy Walker "Incredibly tense, utterly authentic, and endlessly intriguing--I dare you to put this book down."

The Pact (2021) Sharon Bolton "A real atmosphere of dread permeates every page of THE PACT. You can't help but wonder what you'd do in the impossible situations these characters find themselves in - and what *they* do makes for a dark, elegant page-turner."
The Trailing Spouse (2018) Jo Furniss "I devoured every page of this tense, intriguing novel. The Singapore setting and the portrayal of expat life there was so meticulously rendered, it’s what really made this thriller stand out for me. I love Jo’s writing style and highly recommend The Trailing Spouse. An elegant, exotic, and enthralling read."
(Hanna) Zoje Stage "Imagine WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN only with insight into what Kevin was thinking--and if Eva had fought back. This dark, terrifying novel unfolds as a battle of wits between a struggling mother and her psychotic young daughter--and its genius is that the reader's allegiance isn't allowed to linger too long on either side. You'll be desperate to discuss the ending once you've recovered from the shock of it. A must-read."
The Doll House (2017) Phoebe Morgan "Deliciously creepy, genuinely unnerving and incredibly confident, The Doll House is the stellar first outing of a major new voice."
Sweet Little Lies (2017) (Cat Kinsella, book 1) Caz Frear "An incredibly strong and confident voice that has hit the page fully-formed."
