Begars Abbey (2022)
V L Valentine
"As a gothic novel Begars Abbey has it all: remote and storm-bound Yorkshire, ruined abbey buildings, hidden diaries and keys, locked doors and long corridors, even a wicked old woman in a wheelchair... But Vikki Valentine provides the reader with something more, through her appealing, nail-biting heroine, Sam."
The Empty Greatcoat (2022)
Rebecca F John
"This is a remarkable book. Rebecca F. John recreates the entirely convincing experience of a British soldier in the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. We immediately believe in Francis House, ultimately promoted to Sergeant, through John's fascinating detail and psychological understanding of a man with a disturbed past, plied with tincture of opium by his army doctor. She evokes both the time and the place wonderfully in a narrative voice infused with Welsh sensitivity to language. And we are constantly aware of the sea whose marvelously observed presence is there from the beginning of the book to its end."
Black Drop (2021)
(Laurence Jago, book 1)
Leonora Nattrass
"In Black Drop Leonora Nattrass has done that most dangerous thing: allowed fictional characters to mingle with real ones. I'm far too cowardly to do that in my writing, but she has pulled it off. Well written and well constructed, and Jago is a character readers will certainly want to follow."
