Every Move You Make (2024)
C L Taylor
"Every Move You Make takes a bold and fantastically inventive concept and delivers a compelling mystery that fooled me completely."
thumb
The Long Call (2019)
(Two Rivers, book 1)
Ann Cleeves
"Brilliant - a page-turning and sensitively told tale, with a vividly evoked North Devon setting, a powerful emotional heft and a new detective hero in Matthew Venn who you will want to follow for book after book. Wonderful!"

The Man Who Died (2017)
Antti Tuomainen
"Combines a startlingly clever opening, a neat line in dark humour and a unique Scandinavian sensibility. A fresh and witty read."
