The Undiscovered Deaths of Grace McGill
Grace is a death scene cleaner. A well written, character-driven, immersive crime read. I loved it. Dark, disturbing and unusual.
The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch
The Scandalous Confessions of Lydia Bennet, Witch won me over totally! It is funny, clever and very, very entertaining.
Murder by Natural Causes
If I’m going to use murder as light entertainment, at least it’s nice for the protagonist to be a woman. Especially if she’s good at her job.
Black Thorn
A tense and claustrophobic mystery. An incisive look into family life and loyalties, ambition, criminal negligence, toxic greed and cover-up.
Such Sharp Teeth
Rage, trauma, resilience and transformation. Women finding strength and learning to face the world without (or with less) fear.
The Other Half
Witty and well written satirical crime novel about contemporary London socialites.
The Splendid City
The Splendid City is set in a alternative reality. It’s loads of fun but also a serious satire of a world becoming ever more dystopian.
The Wrecking Storm
Politics religion, murder and mayhem are back in this pacey historical mystery set in London in 1641. Book 2 in the series.
Scenes of a Graphic Nature
A clever, perceptive, well written and very readable novel about Ireland, history, lies and stories.
