The Wren, The Wren is not a narrative of grand events but an exploration of the intricate threads that bind couples and families.
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.
A Bird in Winter
A Bird in Winter is beautifully written, well paced, at times exciting, at times more reflective. Older, career women will appreciate it!
Bad Men
Bad Men is sharp and fast and clever and very funny. You’ll love it. (Maybe less so if you’re a scumbag who hurts women.)
Black Thorn
A tense and claustrophobic mystery. An incisive look into family life and loyalties, ambition, criminal negligence, toxic greed and cover-up.
Lioness
Therese questions herself and her life, and feels the urge to break out, smash everything and live more authentically. Who doesn’t, right?
Tell Me What I Am
Portrays coercive control and domestic violence. Highlights the difficulties facing victims’ families and the lack of legal support.
The Benevolent Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies
When the days are dull and lifeless, you need The Society of Ill-Mannered Ladies. Thrilling, moving, clever.
Such Sharp Teeth
Rage, trauma, resilience and transformation. Women finding strength and learning to face the world without (or with less) fear.
Cuckoo in the Nest
A quiet domestic drama set in 1970s Britain. Moving and well written. A wealth of domestic detail plunges the reader into the era.
