Kate Simants recommends
The Dead Friend Project (2024)
Joanna Wallace
"Riotously funny, dark as anything, heartfelt and searingly observed."
Dead Mile (2024)
Jo Furniss
"I absolutely loved it. The traffic might be at a standstill but this is a pedal-to-the-metal thriller from page one. The riotously grumpy Sergeant Kidd is my new best mate, and the rest of the complex, expertly-drawn cast make for an ingenious, high-octane page-turner with twists and turns worthy of a Formula 1 course. Utterly brilliant."
Five Nights (2024)
Rachel Wolf
"A perfect holiday read but with teeth! Incisive, thrilling and crammed full of deliciously toxic family nastiness."
