John Marrs recommends
thumb
The Stranger in the Room (2025)
Luca Veste
"One of the best psychological thrillers I've read in years. Thought provoking, unsettling and compelling."
thumb
The Haters (2024)
Robyn Harding
"A menacing page turner with so many brilliant red herrings. I flew through it and was wrongfooted many times. A clever, cautionary, and twisted tale."

The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby (2024)
Ellery Lloyd
"The Final Act of Juliette Willoughby is a whip-smart page-turner with twists and turns that'll keep a hold on you right up until the final, gripping denouement. It paints such a vivid picture of the international art world that you'll wonder whether Juliette Willoughby actually existed or if she really is just a figment of the authors' frighteningly vivid imagination. A terrific, hands down, five-star read."
