S G MacLean recommends
The Bells of Westminster (2024)
Leonora Nattrass
"A hugely enjoyable book, filled with memorable and utterly engaging characters who come to life in the vastness, galleries, cloister walks and hidden stairways of their world. The mystery, rooted in the competing contemporary theories of science, antiquarianism and folk belief, is garlanded with enticing depictions of the abbey's treasures. I hope to hear more of Susan, Lindley and especially the marvellous Cuthbert, the parrot."
Murder at Holly House (2023)
(Frank Grasby Mystery, book 1)
Denzil Meyrick
"'Murder at Holly House' might be the most surprising book I've read this year. With all Meyrick's trademark ingenious plotting, guile and humour, this is a sure-fire set up for a very satisfying series."
The Burnings (2023)
Naomi Kelsey
"The Burnings is a beautifully written re-imagining of the North Berwick witch trials with clever and tantalising glimpses into the cross-over between witchcraft and lived experience in 16th-century Scotland."
