Stuart Neville recommends

Shutter (2022)
(Rita Todacheene, book 1)
Ramona Emerson
"In her thrilling debut, Shutter, Ramona Emerson allows us a glance into not just one world, but many. Bridging the divide between a grounded procedural mystery and a paranormal thriller, this novel is a feast for fans of both genres and brings us a protagonist we'll want to visit again and again."

On My Life (2019)
Angela Clarke
"ON MY LIFE by Angela Clarke is a heart-rending mystery, and an unflinching study of life in the prison system."

A Friend is a Gift You Give Yourself (2019)
William Boyle
"A thunderous locomotive of a novel, driven by remarkable characters and sparkling dialogue. A treat for fans of neo-noir, it’s brimming with dark wit and piercing insight. Highly recommended."
