Peter Robinson recommends

Fearless (2023)
(Ben Koenig, book 1)
M W Craven
"Fearless is a terrific thriller, full of action, twists and turns and a very unusual hero."

Dark Objects (2022)
(Laughton Rees, book 1)
Simon Toyne
"The pacing is superb and as the suspense ratchets up you will find it impossible to put the book down."

Right to Kill (2021)
(Joe Romano, book 1)
John Barlow
"John Barlow’s Right to Kill offers an intriguing plot and a gritty sense of place. I hope we’ll be seeing a lot more of DS Joe Romano in the future."

The Coffinmaker's Garden (2021)
(Ash Henderson, book 3)
Stuart MacBride
"Stuart MacBride’s deft plotting and whipcrack dialogue, along with a strong sense of place, make The Coffinmaker’s Garden a must read. If you like your serial killers with lashings of dark humour, this is for you."

Buried (2020)
(DC Jack Warr, book 1)
Lynda La Plante
"It's quite a challenge to make a detective constable the lead character in a crime novel, but Lynda La Plante does a cracking job of it in BURIED. DC Jack Warr is clearly destined for higher things, and I look forward to following his progress."
