Julie Caplin
Last week, we received the brilliant news that Julie Caplin’s recently released A Villa With A View (One More Chapter, February 2024), hit the no.1 spot in Slovakia! Those Central Europeans obviously have superb taste…
Stuart Turton
The forthcoming new novel from Stuart Turton, The Last Murder at the End of the World (Bloomsbury Raven, March 2024), has been given a 5* review in last week’s heat magazine:
“This startlingly original slice of dystopia [also] serves up a compelling mystery.”
Chris & Jen Sugden
The debut novel from Chris & Jen Sugden, High Vaultage (Gollancz), was published last week.
The Sugdens are the creators and hosts of the podcast Victoriocity, and their debut novel is a hilarious and adventurous novel set in ‘the most chaotic city in history’.
