Cathi Unsworth recommends
Blood Rival (2025)
Jake Arnott
"Only Jake Arnott could divine a course through the labyrinth of time and unsolved crime to the compulsive and revelatory Blood Rival - a riddle of a novel about power and morality, wrapped in the enigma of contemporary gangland and hidden in the vast psycho-geography of Britain's badlands. Crime and punishment never had a more stylish or astute oracle."
Only Here, Only Now (2024)
Tom Newlands
"In a tremendous act of empathy, in his debut novel Tom Newlands describes both an abandoned, neglected landscape - the small Scottish seaside town of Muircross after the collapse of the mining industry - and what it is like to be inside the mind of a young girl, Cora Mowat, who has undiagnosed ADHD. By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, this is a story of survival against grim odds, superbly spun by a narrator grappling to get to grips with both herself and the incomprehensible world around her. Cora Mowat is my kind of weirdo."
The Pieces (2024)
James Wilson
"The Pieces is amazing - both as a thriller and as an insightful dissection of the forces at work in the 60s music industry. And the characterisation is superb. Perfect reading for noir fans as well as music fans. I loved it!"
