Ruth Dudley Edwards recommends
The Snow Thief (2020)
C J Carver
"I will never forget this eye-opening, gripping often terrifying and disturbing story not just a thriller but a story about surviving Chinese authoritarianism in Tibet, and how love can flourish in the most terrible places. In its power, universality and passion, it deserves to be an international bestseller."
A Brush with Death (2018)
(Susie Mahl Mystery, book 1)
Ali Carter
"This is a crime novel for mystery fans sick of gore and sexual violence. Just curl up and lose yourself happily in this world of animals and toffs - closely observed by a beady-eyed artist turned amateur sleuth who realises all is not as innocent as it looks and is determined to do something about it."
