Laura Benedict recommends
An Inconvenient Wife (2024)
Karen E Olson
"Obscenely wealthy Hank Tudor might imagine he's king of his realm, but it's the women around him who rule. Devious and delicious as a season of celebrity housewives, An Inconvenient Wife pulses with the intrigue of the most dangerous time in history to be a woman wedded to power. Beginning with an unidentified body, and at least one missing wife, the secrets and betrayals are non-stop. You'll never see the killer ending coming!"
Wild Spaces (2023)
S L Coney
"Monstrous and elegant. Sensual and transformative. Wild Spaces left me aching to know what infernal wonders might follow its final, dazzling image. Coney has the vision of a once-in-a-generation writer. This is how it's done, people!"
The Butcher's Prayer (2021)
Anthony Neil Smith
"The Butcher’s Prayer is wine-dark noir, with a hammering and bloody heart. This is Smith at his bleak and soulful best."
