Nicola Rayner recommends

The Neighbour (2026)
Emma Curtis
"Unsettling and addictive, The Neighbour delivers page-turning suspense in the world of suburban property flipping. Emma Curtis is the queen of domestic noir."

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."
