Fascinating, brilliant, horribly addictive

Superbly gripping. One of the most compelling books I've read in ages

Deliciously sinister

Excellent. An undercurrent of subtle malice, cleverly controlled by Heller

Brilliant, nasty, gripping

Reads like a nose through someone else's bathroom cabinet: full of guilty insights and delicious snobbery

A subtle study in obsession and loneliness ... my take-it-to-the-beach recommendation

[A] brilliant off-kilter detective story... An eerie, affecting read.

Clever, dark, funny... A gripping story.

There is an unspoken fascination in those we find abhorrent and Moshfegh writes these women with wit and intrigue, treading a fine line between shocking realism and the absurd.

Death in her Hands is a return to the dark humour that marks Moshfegh's work to date, making it sure to hit the sweet spot with established fans.

An eerie, affecting book.

A darkly funny tale.

Moshfegh returns to the violent timbre of her debut Eileen.

In sending up the detective genre, Moshfegh is true to her mischievous persona.

Blending sharp tongue-in-cheek parody, genuine suspense and a disorientingly unreliable narrator, Death in Her Hands is wildly accomplished, if at times unwieldy. There's always been an existential dread to Moshfegh's writing and here it triumphs as the muddy shadows of an old woman's mind.

A story of brooding anxiety that expands on Moshfegh's writerly obsessions.

Death in Her Hands isn't a conventional mystery, and it isn't going to give you the satisfaction of a conventional ending. But it does satisfy, and in ways I hadn't expected. I hope that, for Moshfegh, this is the new abnormal.

A beautiful novel.

Slow-burning, mind-bending light fantasy

Another twisty, turny and tangled thriller from Lisa Jewell, which also manages to deliver a really satisfying and shocking denouement.

A rollercoaster of tension and suspense

'There's something about Lisa Jewell's thrillers that forces me to sit down and read them in one go, and her latest [...] is no different. I think she's one of the best domestic thriller authors out there, and I love how intensely current the themes of Invisible Girl are'

A beautifully woven tale that explores the enduring relationship between mother and daughter. You'll not consider putting it down for a moment until you know the outcome . . .

Wow! Just finished reading The Heatwave by Kate Riordan. I actually resented mealtimes and bedtime for interrupting my reading of it! Beautifully written and skilfully plotted, this is a THRILLING masterpiece . . . A bestseller

Gripping, utterly convincing and deeply unsettling

Never has a book about a heatwave been so chilling. You won't want to miss this

It's just SO GOOD on every level and ticks every box. Atmospheric, lush writing that will appeal to fans of literary fiction, but a story that draws you in instantly and really doesn't loosen its grip, right up until the last little twist on the final page

Beautifully written with exquisite prose that pulses with heat, scented air and an underlying unease that builds with every page. A book to escape in

So tense and atmospheric; chilling, despite the heat. An exciting, satisfying read. Superb

Engrossing, heady, thrumming with heat and tension - I absolutely loved it

A seductive summer read, dripping with suspense and intrigue. Utterly unputdownable

Escape from lockdown to the scorching French sun [with] The Heatwave

Compelling . . . An addictive page-turner

The perfect poolside or garden read. Set under the warm Provence sun, The Heatwave is unnerving and engrossing psychological suspense

As beautifully written as it is engrossing

Gripping, clever and full of surprises, this is a deliciously tense thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat

A compelling, beautifully written psychological thriller

Praise for Kate Riordan -

Had me absolutely gripped

The perfect summer read

Held me rapt until the very end

I didn't want to put it down

A beautiful and intriguing page-turner

Rich and atmospheric
