Midnight Streets (2025)
(Piccadilly Noir, book 1)
Phil Lecomber
"Absolutely terrific - incredibly gripping... brought the seamy streets and seamier denizens of 1920s London to brutal life."
A Serpent in the Garden (2025)
(William Shakespeare Mystery, book 1)
Howard Linskey
"Absolutely fantastic. Clever, sly, funny, gripping - everything to make it a terrific read."
The Revenge of Rita Marsh (2024)
Nilesha Chauvet
"One of the best books I've read all year. It constantly wrong-footed me and then got under my skin in a really terrifying way. Can't believe it's a debut - the writing was so assured and the plotting so tight. A seriously impressive book and a unique voice."
