Simon Toyne recommends

Jackdaw (2023)
Daniel Cole
"A twisted killer and a killer twist. Kill to get a copy."

Grave Expectations (2023)
Alice Bell
"A great read, with great characters, lots of humour, some misty-eyed moments and lots of swearing. Utterly delightful - like the BBC show Ghosts mixed with Cluedo."

She Rides Shotgun (2017)
Jordan Harper
"Quite simply one of the best debuts I’ve ever read. Beautifully and lyrically written, it’s like a perfect song you hear for the first time and feel like you’ve always known it. It’s an instant classic and if I read a better novel this year I will be amazed."
