Catriona Ward recommends

The Girl with a Thousand Faces (2026)
Sunyi Dean
"Creepy and compelling-a masterfully crafted nesting doll of a story, embedding intergenerational trauma and the ghosts of war into an atmospheric and absorbing slice of Hong Kong Gothic."

Unreliable Narrator (2026)
Araminta Hall
"Araminta Hall never takes her foot off the pedal - even when you never knew there was a pedal. It's a masterful, unnerving, thrilling book - don't expect to be the same at the end as you were when you began."

The Betrayal of Thomas True (2024)
A J West
"Heartbreaking, beautiful, lyrical...I was captivated."
