Francesca Jakobi recommends
The House on Rye Lane (2024)
Susan Allott
"Utterly compelling... will live with me for years to come. At times this thriller made me think of Sarah Waters, at times Belinda Bauer - it is gripping, intelligent and deliciously dark."
The Flower Girls (2019)
Alice Clark-Platts
"I finished The Flower Girls last night and I'm still reeling. A brilliant, thought-provoking read."
The Necessary Marriage (2018)
Elisa Lodato
"I adored this tale of two very different marriages. Beautifully written, utterly compelling, and so tense, I was gripped from page one."
