Alex Marwood recommends
Such Pretty Flowers (2023)K L Cerra"A deliciously terrifying romp through the Gothic wilds of Savannah . . . Horticulture never looked so deadly."The Half Burnt House (2023)The Angel Maker
Alex North"North's poetic way with even the most grotesque of situations is always a joy. The Half Burnt House is his best yet. I love it." Renegade (2022)(Anonymous Justice , book 1)Nancy Allen"Allen's heat-drenched Ozark courtrooms, her heroine stifled both literally and metaphorically by the circumstances surrounding her, are rendered hotter than hell by her talent for crafting a truly disturbing young villain." Love and Other Lies (2021)Ben McPherson"McPherson is a beautiful writer whose voice is intense and intelligent. This exploration of the ever-expanding destructive effects of bad ideas is emotional, painful, and utterly memorable." Invisible Girl (2020)Lisa Jewell"Another masterpiece from a novelist whose grip on human nature in its flawed entirety never slips. Invisible Girl is gripping, disturbing and acutely observant; Jewell is an extremely special writer." The German Heiress (2020)Anika Scott"It's a special novel that opens one's mind to aspects of history we on the 'winning' side have given little thought to and a moving story of courage and everyday heroism rising to meet unbearable challenges." First Cut (2020)(Dr. Jessie Teska Mystery, book 1)Judy Melinek and T J Mitchell
"All the charm, gruesome detail and surprising empathy that made Working Stiff such a delight brought back in a novel. An impressive opener to a series that deserves to run and run." The Vanished Bride (2019)(Bronte Sisters Mystery, book 1)Bella Ellis"A joy from start to finish. I've gone from loving Charlotte Brontë to wanting to be her." Inheritance (2019)Jenny Eclair"enny Eclair once again kept me glued to the page with Inheritance. Such a brilliant writer, so sharp and yet so forgiving. The heir of my writing goddess Elizabeth Taylor, and I don't say that lightly." The First Lie (2019)A J Park"Fast-moving, gripping, the ground shifting perpetually beneath your feet as you read... I read it in one sitting." 84 K (2018)Claire North"Claire North is a true original, a master of ingenious plotting and feats of imagination." The Hidden Room (2017)Stella Duffy"Duffy roars back into crime writing with her trademark intensity. The Hidden Room is spooky, atmospheric and as psychologically on point as it could be. If you want to be disturbed, read this book." For Reasons Unknown (2015)(DCI Matilda Darke, book 1)Michael Wood"Gripping, sad and unexpected – this is a terrific debut. Wood writes with the confidence and flair of an old hand." Books containing stories by Alex Marwood
