Mary Watson recommends
Such a Nice Girl (2026)
Andrea Mara
"Such a Nice Girl is a masterful delve into human connections, friendship and familial, while delivering an unputdownable, intricately plotted, edge of your seat, twisty thriller. Gripping and oh so satisfying."
Troublemaker (2026)
Lesley Kara
"Highly immersive! Storm and Lena are wonderfully drawn characters and a reader can't help but root for them. I flew through this book."
Hidden Treasure (2025)
Jessie Burton
"This book is a beautiful excavation, uncovering the girl beneath the gorgon, the power within the punished. Exquisitely told, Medusa stole my heart from its first fierce lines."
