The Grapevine (2025)
Kate Kemp
"Deliciously dark and acutely observed, reading it is like being in the story. I could see the curtains twitch as I uncovered the secrets, and there were lots of them. This is a claustrophobic read with a shocking (and very satisfying) end, I inhaled it."

Pity Party (2024)
Daisy Buchanan
"I adore Daisy's voice - she's genuinely funny and intensely sensitive, no mean feat when the topic is as complicated as grief. I laughed, I cried, I screamed, I devoured every page. And it's stayed with me, I feel restored. Pity Party made me want to be brave. It's a laugh-out-loud balm."

Maude Horton's Glorious Revenge (2024)
Lizzie Pook
"Dark, thrilling & completely absorbing, MAUDE HORTON'S GLORIOUS REVENGE is glorious. Lizzie Pook taps into a centuries-long fascination with true crime taking us from the Arctic via gruesome hangings into Madame Tussaud's. I loved Maude and was rooting for her from the get-go. BRAVO!"
