Katherine Stansfield recommends
Eliza Mace (2024)
(Eliza Mace Mysteries, book 1)
Sarah Burton and Jem Poster
"A first-rate historical mystery with a spirited and compelling sleuth. In a world of class divisions, social injustice and closely guarded family secrets, the stakes are high for this fearless young detective. The plot is as twisty as the wooded paths of the forlorn Mace estate, taking the reader on a gripping journey to find the truth about her father and her family's fortunes."
The Evil Within (2020)
(Dark Devon Mysteries, book 1)
S M Hardy
"This is a novel that gets under your skin, and if you can put it down you ll think twice about turning out the lights."
The Golden Key (2020)
Marian Womack
"A beguiling mystery that lingers long after reading, much like the unsettling mists of the fens that creep through this story. The Golden Key mesmerizes, offers a door to another world - one which casts an uncanny light on our own self-destruction."
