Ian Rankin recommends
Murder in the Family (2023)
Cara Hunter
"This devilishly clever, ground-breaking novel will keep you guessing as you fly through its pages."
Central Park West (2023)
James Comey
"Hard to believe Central Park West is a first novel. It reeks of authenticity and the plot goes like a train. The courtroom scenes are tense and the cast of characters vivid and compelling. This is the sort of debut publishers dream of."
Home Before Night (2023)
J P Pomare
"A twisty small-town mystery with a protagonist I didn't want to let go."
