Jo Jakeman recommends

The Stalker (2024)
Kate Rhodes
"The tension never lets up. Just when you think you've unravelled the mystery, Rhodes masterfully delivers a twist that leaves you breathless."

The Actor (2024)
Chris MacDonald
"An unsettling, all-encompassing read that explores obsession and ambition. So sharp, so visceral, I just couldn't look away."

The Grief House (2023)
Rebecca Thorne
"Chilling, claustrophobic and creepy as hell. Loved it!"
