Martyn Waites recommends

The Grief Doctor (2024)
Jack Anderson
"The Grief Doctor is a cracking thriller from first time novelist Jack Anderson. Expertly crafted and thoroughly engrossing, with its claustrophobia and air of stifling, building menace this book hooks you and doesn't let go. It also asks a serious question: Is it better to live with grief and all its attendant pain, or do without it."
thumb
Speak of the Devil (2023)
Rose Wilding
"Speak of the Devil is a hugely assured debut novel; dark, compelling with a channelled, righteous anger. A fantastic thriller, and Rose Wilding is a genuine find who writes with an authentic, original Northern, working class queer voice. I'm really excited to see what she does next."

The Christmas Murder Game (2021)
Alexandra Benedict
"This is the perfect Christmas book. Get it for yourself to read when the nights are cold and dark and give it as a present. To everyone!"
