Happy New Year!

Wonderful to start the year with a brilliant review for ENIGMA BY THE SEA by Carlo Fruttero and Franco Lucentini (translated by Gregory Dowling) from Shots Magazine.

'Witty and erudite rather than funny this is a deeply perceptive... enchanting novel: a collaboration enhanced by the empathy and expertise of its translator, Gregory Dowling.'

'The novel’s strengths lie in its relentless drive, clear-eyed judgement, and focus on empathy: every action is understandable, yet none are forgivable.'

Great to see RED WATER is one of CrimeReads's Best International Crime Novels, Mysteries and Thrillers of 2025.
