My favourite books include Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty, Restless by William Boyd, Alys, Always by Harriet Lane, The Secret History by Donna Tartt and The Constant Gardener by John Le Carre, but I'm also inspired by (and unashamedly addicted to) compelling TV drama, with favourite series including The Night Manager, True Detective, and The Honourable Woman.

Flynn Berry's debut novel Under the Harrow was one of the more pleasant reading surprises I've had this year; I felt like I'd found a hidden gem that ticked all of my thriller boxes (atmospheric, dark, is more of a character study than a fast-paced page-turner). She sounds a little unhinged at times, but that may be due to her brother's opioid addiction and her obsessive quest to find her father.The author didn't try to make this an overly complicated mystery with so many twists and turns that end up hurting the story rather than enhancing it.

No conocemos demasiado a los personajes, ya que algunos aparecen solo para su actuación puntual y luego nos quedamos con las ganas de saber más de ellos. She is also a wonderful stylist and brings a fine sense of tone and rhythm to her translation of Pavlova. Philby was an intelligence officer with MI6 - and also a double agent with the KGB, passing highly classified information to the Russians.Unable to understand what took place, she has spent the last 30 years questioning where her father is and how he could have committed such a crime. Almost thirty years ago, Claire woke to noises and went downstairs to discover the body of their nanny—Emma—covered in blood. When this occurs, it brings all of those memories back into focus and increases her attempts to find out what really happened. As Gabriela's life begins to unravel, Isobel gets closer to the truth, and the two women's lives converge in this deeply chilling examination of deceit.
