Paul Finch recommends
A Murder of Lies (2023)
(DCI Garrick Crime Thriller, book 7)
M G Cole
"Dark, grim, tense. A compelling new voice."
The Rule (2021)
David Jackson
"I really enjoyed The Rule. Jackson doesn't do cosy thrillers. There is dark, ultra dark, and then there is The Rule. You've been warned."
Right to Kill (2021)
(Joe Romano, book 1)
John Barlow
"Yorkshire Noir at its most authentic. A gritty, uncompromising thriller, but written from the heart."
