Louise Beech recommends
Seven Days (2024)Robert Rutherford"A tense, snappy, charged thriller, with complex family relationships, a great twist halfway, and brilliant locations." Dirt (2023)(Jonny Murphy Files, book 1)Sarah Sultoon"Full of danger and pulsating characters." The Manhattan Girls (2022)Gill Paul"Well, I feel--closing the pages of this book--like I've just departed from friends. Good friends. Warm, witty, flawed, diverse friends, whose gossip and shenanigans I'll sorely miss because Gill Paul is the MISTRESS of putting you right there in the company of her characters. She is a also a magician when it comes to bringing real life historical characters to the page in her fiction, cleverly weaving fact in with what-might-have-beens. Dorothy Parker is a fascinating woman, and Gill adds to her story. This book is a real treat and I highly recommend." The Gone & the Forgotten (2022)Clare Whitfield"What a beautiful, absorbing, emotional book. I was on that remote island with these characters, lost in their unfolding dramas and the barren landscape and long-past secrets. I was with young Prue on her quest to disperse the shadows of her past, and certainly identified with many of the things she had been through. A stunning read." Do No Harm (2022)Jack Jordan"The definition of edge of your seat, nail-biting, buttock-clenching thriller." Tomorrow I Become a Woman (2022)Aiwanose Odafen"Tomorrow I Become a Woman is an accomplished and emotional triumph. With deft language and in-depth characters, the book explores female friendships, difficulties and loss. It pulses with life, and taught me a lot." Fall (2021)West Camel"West Camel is a truly gifted wordsmith, and a beautiful storyteller." The River Between Us (2021)Liz Fenwick"Once again, Liz Fenwick has proved she is the mistress of pure escapism. Spanning generations, with a beautiful love story and unearthed secrets about ancestry at its core, this book is just what the world needs right now." The Last Resort (2020)Susi Holliday"What a trip! I love how Holliday writes, unafraid to mix genres. And this is no exception. Another ‘like nothing you’ve read’ thriller from one of my fave writers." The Murder House (2020)(DCI Matilda Darke, book 5)Michael Wood"Gory, brutal, devastating, utterly addictive and yet so finely written. This deserves to be huge and I think it will be. His best yet." What's Left of Me Is Yours (2019)Stephanie Scott"A beautiful, beautiful book that defies genre - and my words... This is truly an epic, meticulously and lovingly researched, with such exquisite description and detail that I read the same lines over, many times
I will not forget this book for a long time." Good Samaritans (2018)(Detective Sergeant Pace, book 1)Will Carver"A dark and addictive novel that felt deliciously sexy to read, like I should read it where no one could see." Dead North (2018)(Sam Williams, book 1)Joel Hames"Hames is such a talent that he has created a white-knuckle, breathlessly-paced read that also has heart. Beautifully written and thrilling, Dead North deserves to go to the top of any chart." More recommendations Books containing stories by Louise Beech
