Truly, Darkly, Deeply (2022) Victoria Selman "Utterly compelling. Twisted yet heartfelt. It's the stark portrayal of the complexities of familial love, and the slow burn of psychological authenticity that makes Truly Darkly Deeply such a thrilling read."
The Devil and the Dark Water (2020) Stuart Turton "The Devil and the Dark Water is mind-bending, genre-bending, intricate, vivid, intelligent, and with one of the most gloriously grizzly cast of characters ever. An absolute razztwizzler of a novel."
The Truth Must Dazzle Gradually (2020) Helen Cullen "An extremely moving read. Handles the complexities of love, grief, family life and mental illness with sensitivity and depth. A truly gorgeous novel."
Alex Pavesi "An absolute triumph of a novel. I read it in two greedy gulps. Intelligent and compelling storytelling. Utterly brilliant."
The Last Wife (2020) Karen Hamilton "A brilliant example of how to master voice, and a protagonist, Juliette, who is terrifying!"
He Started It (2020) Samantha Downing "I absolutely loved it: whip-smart, lean, deliciously dark and addictive. One of the best thrillers I've read in a long time."
We Begin at the End (2020) Chris Whitaker "An exceptionally beautiful and accomplished crime novel. I fell head over heels into its big black heart and will carry the characters with me for a long time to come yet. Duchess and Thomas Noble forever."
The Whisper Man (2019) Alex North "The Whisper Man is going to be huge. Dark enough to chill your blood but so beautifully written you will not be able to put it down. Utterly brilliant."
The Silver Road (2019) Stina Jackson "I really enjoyed The Silver Road. There's a haunting, intoxicating atmosphere throughout, intensified by the never ending Nordic daylight, which is in stark contrast to the darkness of the families the story follows. A great read."
Daisy Jones & The Six (2019) Taylor Jenkins Reid "The heady haze of the 70s music scene, and a perfectly flawed Daisy, combine to create a fresh, rock n roll read. I loved it."
The Glass Woman (2019) Caroline Lea "Utterly unputdownable. Rich in superstition and mystery, it pulled me in. An incredible novel."
Resin (2018) Ane Riel "A vivid, fable-esque exploration of love when it is too much."
The Story Keeper (2018) Anna Mazzola "The Story Keeper is brilliant. The imagery, the folklore, the sense of place, all of it combined is so intoxicating, creepy and compulsive. I loved it!"
Our Kind of Cruelty (2018) Araminta Hall "Toxic love, obsession, and the unflinching unravelling of a mind. Scarily plausible, a great read."
