Christobel Kent recommends

The Golden Hour (2025)
Kate Lord Brown
"Headily romantic, richly detailed, with marvellous characters and a vividly stirring landscape both geographical and historical, The Golden Hour offers escapism of the most elegantly seductive sort."

The Better Liar (2020)
Tanen Jones
"A brilliantly claustrophobic thriller with a gasp-inducing sting in the tail. Tense, controlled and masterly."

The Day of the Accident (2018)
Nuala Ellwood
"A gripping rollercoaster ride of a thriller. Keeps you in there right to the last page."
