A Case of Matricide (paperback) Graeme Macrae Burnet

[trim]‘Burnet plays metafictional games, but the book pulls off the rare double of being emotionally involving as well as teasingly tricksy.’ Telegraph, Best Crime and Thrillers Autumn 2024[/trim]

Miss Blaine’s Prefect and the Uncharted Island Olga Wojtas

Kingfisher Rozie Kelly

[trim]“Kelly may be writing in the same lane as the likes of Rooney and Levy, but she is a confident voice in her own right, and handles grief, power, and desire with deftness. The attractive prose typical of literary fiction, and indeed seen in this novel, often creates more vibe than substance, but not in the case of Kingfisher, a story that stings with realism.” nb. magazine[/trim]
