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.
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.
The Other Half
Witty and well written satirical crime novel about contemporary London socialites.
The Social Distance Between Us
Well written essay on the disparities between the ruling class and the people affected by their decisions. UK-focused, but relevant anywhere.

How We End
UK-based zombie apocalypse. Exciting, action-packed story with a group of interesting characters, and fun twists on the genre.
Shade of Violet
