Francine Toon recommends
thumb
Hazardous Spirits (2023)
Anbara Salam
"A darkly sumptuous love letter to the ghosts of Edinburgh past, guaranteed to give you goosebumps. Under its veneer of eccentric frivolity and acerbic wit, Hazardous Spirits is a heartbreaking exploration of collective grief and personal trauma. An exquisitely written work of Caledonian gothic."
thumb
Voyeur (2021)
Francesca Reece
"A sultry, summery book . . . devastatingly witty, compulsively readable . . . like Sally Rooney meeting Martin Amis in Paris."
thumb
Tall Bones (2021)
Where the Truth Lies

Anna Bailey
"A clever, twisting debut, about the dark side of small town America. It is packed with secrets like firecrackers ready to ignite."
