Death Notice (2024)
(Michael Walker, book 2)
Simon Maltman
"Walker is a great series character."
thumb
Truly, Darkly, Deeply (2022)
Victoria Selman
"Gripping from the opening page, it ratchets up the tension while constantly forcing the reader to question what they think they know. A compulsive and hugely satisfying read."
thumb
The Nurse (2022)
Claire Allan
"A pacy, propulsive thriller - undoubtedly Allan's best yet. Don't miss it."
