Brian McGilloway recommends
thumb
Truly, Darkly, Deeply (2022)
Victoria Selman
"Gripping from the opening page, it ratchets up the tension while constantly forcing the reader to question what they think they know. A compulsive and hugely satisfying read."
thumb
The Nurse (2022)
Claire Allan
"A pacy, propulsive thriller - undoubtedly Allan's best yet. Don't miss it."
thumb
The Art of Death (2021)
David Fennell
"Chilling, unsettling and wonderfully atmospheric, it grips from first page to last. I hope we'll be hearing much more from Fennell and his brilliant detective, Grace Archer."
