The Secret Thread (2026) Eve Chase "The Secret Thread is sensational - Eve Chase is a writer at the top of her game. Gripping, immersive and hair-raisingly beautiful, it is written with Chase's absolutely peerless style and flair for character. I adored every word, every page."
Our Perfect Storm (2026) Carley Fortune "A dream of a love story: breathtakingly romantic, sizzling with chemistry and set in a stunningly beautiful location...Epic."
Dolly All the Time (2026) Annabel Monaghan "I finished Dolly all the Time last night - I think I nearly died. It might be my favorite love story of all time. This book isn't just brilliant, it's exceptional. I loved it with all my heart."
Unreliable Narrator (2026) Araminta Hall "Unreliable Narrator is a towering achievement - confronting, deeply compelling and beautifully written, with a simmering message of both rage and hope . Araminta Hall has a rare gift and this novel is, truly, standout."
Based on a True Story (2026) Sarah Vaughan "Elegant, absorbing and almost unbearably tense, Based on a True Story tormented me whenever I didn't have it in my hands. A standout psychological thriller of depth and weight with a cast of beautifully-drawn characters. Superb."
Fran Littlewood "THE FAVOURITE is an absolute knockout - ferociously observed, fantastically funny and deeply relatable. I could not stop reading this dark-edged, pacy, moving novel and was consumed with thoughts about the characters whenever it wasn't in my hands. Sensationally good."
The Names (2025) Florence Knapp "Haunting, heartbreaking and spellbindingly beautiful, this novel more than delivers on its brilliant premise. I loved Knapp's spare, luminous prose and the three casts of characters, each as complex and human as the other; above all I loved their thirst for hope and redemption, which kept me rooted to their side even in their darkest hours."
The Sunshine Man (2025) Emma Stonex "A brilliantly accomplished story of fractured lives and the long-term reverberations of violent crime, The Sunshine Man is both poetic and fiendishly gripping. Stonex's prose is bruising and beautiful."
Pity Party (2024) Daisy Buchanan "Pity Party is a standout novel - heartbreaking, observant, deeply relatable and impossibly funny. I laughed and cried and loved every moment. Her best yet; I envy anyone about to begin this wonderful book."
Bye, Baby (2024) Carola Lovering "Powerful, relatable and crazily addictive, Bye, Baby takes an unflinching look at the battling forces of toxicity and love which define so many female friendships. I couldn't put it down."
The Shell House Detectives (2023) (Shell House Detectives Mystery, book 1) Emylia Hall "Irresistible, beautifully written, and hugely compelling... Kept me turning the pages for one more delicious chapter well into the night."
The Whispers (2023) Ashley Audrain "A masterwork: a page-turner, a searing emotional rollercoaster and a beautifully-written hymn to the pain, the love, the fury of motherhood. I could think about nothing but Ashley Audrain's perfectly-drawn characters in the three days it took me to tear through this novel, and I suspect they will live on in my mind for a long time to come. Sensational."
Talking at Night (2023) Claire Daverley "Spellbinding, beautiful, lyrical and tender, Talking at Night is a dazzling debut. I loved every word and was left longing for more."
Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair (2022) June Gervais "Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair is an absolute delight--fascinating, funny, touching and hugely compelling. I loved the richly-drawn characters and was completely absorbed by the setting. A fantastically accomplished debut by an author to watch."
One Night on the Island (2022) Josie Silver "One Night on the Island is utterly delicious - every single ingredient for the perfect love story is here in this wise and witty story."
Before You Knew My Name (2021) Jacqueline Bublitz "I fell head over heels in love with this heartbreaking, beautiful and hugely important novel. Jacqueline Bublitz's prose is luminous and the up-all-night, just-one-more-page plot is brilliantly clever and original. Everyone should read this book."
Everything After (2021) Jill Santopolo "An emotional and uplifting tale of great love and great loss, and the seductive power of second chances. Nobody does page-turning, heart-wrenching love stories quite like Jill Santopolo."
The Vanished Bride (2019) (Bronte Sisters Mystery, book 1) Bella Ellis "Elegant, witty and compulsively readable - I think the Brontë sisters would have been delighted. A standout book."
After the End (2019) Clare Mackintosh "Unforgettable and profoundly moving, this is a novel about the bottomless human capacity for love and endurance, even in the most heartbreaking circumstances."
Gillian McAllister "I literally could not put this book down. This isn’t a far-fetched psychological thriller; this is a deeply human novel about a split-second, life-changing decision any woman could find herself having to make. What would I do? I found myself asking, from the very first page. Razor sharp, brilliantly written, and utterly gripping. Highly recommended."
