Helen Grace is one of the greatest heroes to come along in years

The new Jo Nesbo

Chills to the bone

Meticulously researched, solidly constructed

I'm kicking myself for missing Arlidge's first six books which all hit the bestseller lists. But this blizzard of fast-moving action made me an instant fan

[LOVE ME NOT] should seriously come with a safety harness, because it is one hell of a ride... An extremely fast-paced, page turning thriller

An intense and heart thumping read... This maybe the seventh book in the series but it's still a series that has plenty to offer, the plots are surprising, the characters have evolved and M J Arlidge's writing shows no signs of getting stagnant or repetitive

Once again Arlidge produces a great little thriller, the majority of which takes place in the space of less than twenty-four hours... if you like an occasional read-it-in-one-sitting type novel than this is for you. Highly Entertaining

[LOVE ME NOT] combines M.J. Arlidge's prickly protagonist Grace and his skill at creating compelling action - acquired in a 15-year career working in prime time television - to produce this fast-paced thriller about a pair of serial killers

The author has yet again delivered a gripping, fast paced read that I for one devoured in one sitting... Helen is the UK version of James Patterson's Alex Cross series

Like the others in the series it doesn't disappoint, it's a crime thriller full of adrenaline, action, gore and suspense. Arlidge's writing is succinct and snappy; it never fails to hook me in

One of those books where you ignore the pile of dirty washing and the million and one other things that you have to do, just so that you can keep reading

The pacing is fast, probably faster than in previous books even. This is driven on by Arlidge's consistent use of short, punchy chapters and sparing and yet authentic dialogue

Arlidge and Helen Grace never fail to disappoint. Fresh out of Holloway, and with some personal issues within the MIT team, Helen is hot on the heels of the next serial killer letting loose on Southampton. As always, I thoroughly enjoyed this instalment and it was good to be back out on the street with Helen again

A topical, tense and addictive read

The Good Girl looks set to be the next Gone Girl, with its dark compelling exploration of family secrets . . .

Neill takes a light scalpel to online disaster in this exceptional dual-narrative

Cracking

Two families become embroiled in each other's lives and long buried secrets are unravelled. Contemporary issues are tackled here with both humour and realism, making for an engrossing read

Neill's characters are so cleverly depicted, you feel as if you've met at least one of them before

An absorbing psychological study of greed, loyalty and cultural conflict

The bastard child of Graham Greene and Patricia Highsmith

A masterful and sophisticated psychological thriller that explores moral ambiguity from multiple perspectives

Taut psychological thriller that’s as sinister as it is thrilling. A real unputdownable effort that examines morality and privilege

Smart, seductive… A sophisticated page-turner

Osborne is a literary writer – and a brilliant one – and this sumptuously written superbly observed study of misplaced idealism and moral expediency reads a bit like a thriller penned by F Scott Fitzgerald

Malevolent, gripping… A compelling read, acutely observed and beautifully written. For all the character defects of the principal protagonists, the reader wants to find out what happens to them. It matters. And there can be no higher praise than that

This complex, thrilling novel focuses on Naomi Codrington, a young lawyer who befriends Samantha, a malleable American teenager, while summering with her father and stepmother on the Greek island of Hydra. When they find a Syrian refugee washed up on the shore, calamity comes rushes in.

Thrilling, chilling and contains the following subtext: best stay at home

Birdcage Walk offers a persuasively grimy period evocation of contemporary domestic peril facing women, not least in an agonising childbirth scene that has traumatic consequences

Gripping historical drama

A story of idealism and possessive love, with strong and memorable characters

Helen definitely has a deft touch when it comes to history but the vividness of Lizzie and Diner's relationship is what stands out in glorious literary 3D. Speaking as someone raised in Bristol, I'll never be able to gaze down into the Gorge again without seeing that rowing boat. Bleak can be hauntingly beautiful and between these covers Helen demonstrates how

She vividly brings to live the struggle of women’s lives in late 18th century Bristol, and I recommend the book for an insight into Bristol in another time

From the swish of a silk dress, to the whoosh of the guillotine, Dunmore uses words with economic precision to build up the detail and suspense of this novel. Which haunts the reader just as the characters in it are haunted by the dead.

Flawless final historical novel from the late, great Helen Dunmore

A lively and inventive voice … by all account as brilliant as her other books

Early feminism and a hint of Grand Designs: a great mix’
