Jo Callaghan recommends
One Bad Apple (2024)
Jo Jakeman
"I loved it! Throw a murder into the politics of the school gates and the parents WhatsApp groups and you have a witty, insightful and thoroughly entertaining murder mystery. Bravo Jo Jakeman!"
Close to the Edge (2024)
(Detectives Martin & Stern, book 2)
Anna Britton
"An unputdownable British police procedural series."
Clickbait (2024)
L C North
"Told through mixed media, Clickbait kept me turning the pages to find out what happened to missing teenager, Bradley Wilcox. Masterfully plotted and told with verve and humour, this clever and compelling story was made for TV. Bravo."
