Joanna Cannon recommends
All Of Us Are Broken (2023)(DS Saul Anguish, book 2)Fiona Cummins"Fiona Cummins writes a belter of a thriller. Such a powerful story and a gut punching final chapter." The Forgetting (2023)Hannah Beckerman"This book is amazing! It's deliciously sinister, deeply twisty, and HUGELY addictive. I love the disquietness of it so much, and Hannah writes into the dark corners of the characters' minds so beautifully." In the Blink of an Eye (2023)(Kat and Lock, book 1)Jo Callaghan"An absolute cracker of a thriller. Such an original concept and so brilliantly executed, but also a story to make you think, and one that throws up unexpected questions about life, grief, loss, and the human mind . . . If you love a police procedural, you'll adore this. If you like a book to make you think a little more deeply, you will also love this. As someone who is a fan of both, I can't recommend it enough." Under the Same Stars (2022)Alexandra Heminsley"It's beautifully written, with such heart, and yet also with such incredible elegance. Not only did it make me cry, it made me see the world in a different way." Paper Cup (2022)Karen Campbell"Paper Cup is very special indeed. Not only is it exquisitely written - and I mean catch-your-breath exquisite - the story is so real and told with such grace and compassion... Trust me (trust me), your world will be a better place for reading this story." Just Got Real (2022)Jane Fallon"Your writing makes the world a brighter place, [Jane Fallon]. Just Got Real is an absolute joy." Mother's Boy (2022)Patrick Gale"You know sometimes, from the very first page of a book, you feel so at home and so involved with the story, it's as if you've walked alongside the characters all your life? Mother's Boy is one of those books. A sign of an incredible storyteller." Still Life (2021)Sarah Winman"An utterly beautiful story, so generous, rich, deeply moving and filled with hope. Sarah Winman is a genius and one of the greatest storytellers of our time. I remember reading When God Was A Rabbit all those years ago and being in complete awe of her, thinking 'I wonder if I could do this too?', so Sarah Winman is why I write!" One Last Time (2021)Helga Flatland"The most beautiful, elegant writing I've read in a long time. If you love Anne Tyler, you will adore this." Things in Jars (2019)Jess Kidd"Jess Kidd's stories are so magical, she should be a genre all to herself ... Things in Jars is exquisite. Perfect storytelling." Sal (2018)Mick Kitson"Just *wonderful*. A breath of fresh air in a book. Sal is a story with incredible heart, told so beautifully and with such clarity and grace I can hardly believe it's a debut! I loved it." The Woman in the Window (2018)A J Finn"Amazing. What an elegant, beautifully written thriller. I loved Dr Fox from the word go, and the twists and turns were just exquisite. It's so rare to find a story so compelling, yet so gracefully told the flair and class of Hitchcock on every page. It's quite a cliche, but I was genuinely walking around the house/answering the door/eating my meals with the book in my hand." The Last of Us (2016)Rob Ewing"A story about the strength and fragility of human nature. Rob Ewing's writing is powerful, compassionate and brilliant. I absolutely loved it."
