The Close-Up (2024)
Pip Drysdale
"With twists and turns set against an LA skyline, Pip Drysdale shows that she is the undisputed queen of the sexy-cool thriller."

Red River Road (2024)
Anna Downes
"Red River Road takes us beyond the shiny exterior of #vanlife and deep into the secrets we keep. Tension, suspense, and characters who get more than they bargained for--this is Downes at her absolute best."

To The River (2024)
Vikki Wakefield
"Vikki Wakefield's To the River gets under your skin. Two very different women are brought together in the search for the truth and something like justice. Covered in dog hair and splattered with river mud, this taut, muscular thriller absolutely delivers."
