I'm not sure why but I love crime novels set under totalitarian regimes. (I figure before long most new books will be 😉.)

This historical crime novel by Catherine Merridale in particular has grabbed me. It's a debut and we meet Anton Markovich, essentially a fraud investigator, but the year is 1934 and the location is Moscow. Anton's life gets weird and dangerous in equal proportions when he's railroaded into investigating a murder linked to the construction of the new Moscow Metro.

📢Happy publication day to SDW Hamilton! 🍻🎉✨
He Calls By Night - book two in the Jacob Kincaid investigations - is out now. Grab a copy if you want to discover one of the gems of British & Irish indie crime fiction!

We really liked this author's first novel, Blood on the Broadcast, back in February 2024. He Calls By Night is arguably even better.

This time, PI Jacob Kincaid is asked to look into the disappearance of a boy four decades back, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Elderly now, the lad's mother wants closure.

Working once again with podcaster Natalie Amato, what Kincaid discovers is truly chilling. It all links to Ned By Night. Thought to be a ghost, could this urban myth be a reality?

You'll have to read it to find out. This is a fine novel, and not to be missed. Check it out here: https://amzn.to/46aDyeD

Happy publication day to Catherine Miller! 🎉🎺✨
The Nothing Month is out today and it's a psychological thriller with a fantastic setup for the modern reader.
Already a successful author of women's fiction, Catherine has transformed into Cat and we think you're going to like her new direction.
Imagine a month without tech. No social media. No pings. No doomscrolling. No worries, right?
That's exactly what Zara opts for when she joins The Nothing Month. A month without digital. But when she doesn't turn up where she's meant to be, her mother gets worried. Now there's no way to contact Zara. In the woods, the body of a young woman has been found...
A lot of the action takes place in the fascinating and sometimes spooky setting of the New Forest, in Hampshire.
If you love a well-conceived thriller, this is it. So tune in, turn off and read, read, read!
