'We had better start ranking Heyer alongside such incomparable whodunit authors as Christie, Marsh, Tey and Allingham'

'Rarely have we seen humour and mystery so perfectly blended'

'Sharp, clear and witty'

'Heyer's characters and dialogue are an abiding delight to me ... I have seldom met people to whom I have taken so violent a fancy from the word "Go"'

'The wittiest of detective writers'

Death in the Stocks is that rare and refreshing thing - a clever problem stated, developed and finally solved in terms of character

Miss Heyer's characters act and speak with an ease that is as refreshing as it is rare in the ordinary mystery novel

'If it wasn't written by Robert Goddard, you'd say 'Alexander McCall Smith meets Robert Goddard' because few people are as brilliant at plots as he is - or the broad, sweeping, twists and turns that we never see coming - that final epilogue-ultra-twist was really clever...It's an incredibly courageous move on Robert's part and it's worked in spades. . Wada's a perfect new character: intelligent, wryly funny, unhampered by domestic concerns and completely unswerving once she's set her mind on something. I sincerely hope she turns up again - often.'

Here...McCarthy writes at the height of his powers, interweaving the new future with the recent past... The Making of Incarnation McCarthy adds to his reputation as one of our most knowledgeable and perceptive novelists.

Totally intriguing story with a believable cast of original characters who I cared about from the first page to the last. I absolutely raced through it. And just when I thought it was over . . . another brilliant twist. Excellent writing. A highly recommendable read.

Addictive, tense and pacy, Safe at Home kept me constantly guessing.

Tense, dark, horrifying and addictive - every parent's nightmare in book form. Unputdownable.

Great twists and an ending that gave me goosebumps.

Lauren North is an author I can always trust to deliver a belter of a read. Safe At Home is enthrallingly dark and utterly addictive, delivering twist after twist at break-neck speed, whilst skilfully pulling at our heart strings. North is an unstoppable talent, and I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Fast-paced and super-readable!

A chilling thriller, perfect for a long weekend.

If you're in the mood for a dark family drama, this novel will be right up your street . . . Expect plenty of twists and turns.

This disturbing thriller is breathlessly brilliant.

A chilling, masterful thriller.

Excellent pacing, sprightly narrative voices, and judicious dabs of wry humor make this a highly entertaining tale. Kurian's refreshingly different slant on psychopathy marks her as a writer to watch

Impossible to put down

A sharp debut, and ant-heroine Chloe is darkly entertaining throughout.

Kurian expertly threads revenge and cat-and-mouse story arcs with Chloe's frank, show-stealing narration...Kurian's highly anticipated thriller will undoubtedly lead fans of Gone Girl, Dexter and Patricia Highsmith's Tom Ripley novels to hope for Chloe's return.

Electrifying and entirely unpredictable.

Delivered with panache and wit

This book was like a refreshing can of something fizzy - the interactions between the program members are a joy, and the plot full of sharp turns and surprises. I quickly became quite fond of this disparate gang of plotting, scheming young monsters. Can't remember reading something I enjoyed so much in ages. Highly recommended.

Readers won't want to put down this fast and engaging debut novel, and they'll root for the characters who've been cast as villains

A powerful puzzle of a murder mystery, as impossible to solve as it is to put down. What starts as a delicious thriller becomes a fascinating investigation of amorality, vengeance, and redemption. A powder keg of a debut.

Stick a bunch of devious psychopaths together and what could possibly go wrong? (...) a completely original, clever whodunit from a talented new arrival to the world of psychological suspense.

Sharp, original and extremely entertaining. The portrayal of psychopathy is nuanced and sensitive - something you don't see enough of in thriller fiction.

Truly original. Vera's main characters are believable and likeable, despite their nature. A very intriguing read.

Shocking, moving, full of heart ... deeply layered and intricately plotted ... A Slow Fire Burning shows a writer at the height of her powers

This tense and irresistible read is best binged in one sitting

Intricately interwoven plots and subplots, propulsive twists and a neat finale, a deliciously easy psycho drama to hungrily tear through.

A brilliant read

A psychological thriller that begins with a death on a canal boat and involves a cadre of shifty, damaged characters.

A multi-layered mystery simmering with secrets, resentments and griefs.
