Nicci French recommends
thumb
The House of Mirrors (2024)
Erin Kelly
"A bold, beautiful, sexy, full-throttle thriller: immaculately constructed and rich with detail, it is a gorgeous, creepy Gothic story for our times. Erin Kelly with her foot to the floor - and that ending!"
thumb
Leave No Trace (2024)
(Kat and Lock, book 2)
Jo Callaghan
"A smart, agile, immaculately plotted and moving thriller that is unswervingly gripping and scary, and at the same time beautifully tender and humane."
thumb
Widowland (2021)
(Widowland, book 1)
C J Carey
"A terrifying, vividly imagined story of a Nazi Britain that might have been. Tense, utterly convincing and, in the end, very moving."
