It’s been a while since I posted a list of recent good reads because I’ve been bound up with publication of my new novel Half The World Away. I was delighted when I was up at the Carlisle Crime Writing Weekend to hear from a librarian who appreciates these lists as it helps her to find titles to recommend to readers. Thank you! So here are some more excellent novels for your consideration.

All My Puny Sorrows by Miriam Toews

The Exit by Helen Fitzgerald

The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber

This Thing of Darkness by Harry Bingham

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy

Pretty Baby by Mary Kubica

The Life I Left Behind by Colette McBeth

Sandrine by Thomas H. Cook
