Alice Slater recommends
Private Rites (2024)
Julia Armfield
"A sharply observed exploration of grief, family and the end of the world as we know it."
The House of Mirrors (2024)
Erin Kelly
"Full of duplicity, doppelgangers and dead girls' dresses, The House of Mirrors delivers a white-knuckle ride as a murky past creeps up on the present. I don't think I took a breath until I found myself screaming my way through the crescendo."
Scrap (2024)
Calla Henkel
"Scrap offers a bricolage of arson, true crime, mystery and murder that takes its readers from the cosy humility of scrapbooking to the lofty heights of champagne dinners, exclusive gallery openings and private jets. At its wicked heart - a knotted mystery too intriguing to leave unpicked."
