Nicola Rayner recommends

The Psychiatrist (2025)
Emma Curtis
"I just couldn't turn the pages of The Psychiatrist fast enough. Emma Curtis is the queen of suburban noir, and this impeccably structured novel is her best yet."

The Scandalous Life of Ruby Devereaux (2024)
M J Robotham
"It's hard not to fall in love with Ruby Devereaux. I thoroughly enjoyed her warm, witty company on this joyous journey through the late 20th century."
