The Restless Dead by Simon Beckett – 6 April
It’s been five years since we raced through Simon’s last Dr David Hunter novel, so we’re beyond excited for the return of the forensics expert in this tense, claustrophobic page turner of a thriller. If you’re yet to discover the series, this book is a great place to start. Prepare to lose yourself in the creepy, atmospheric setting and engrossing plot.

    Look at the new author on Amazon Kindle Frank Kaye and Backfire. It may not be the best ever literary skill by far, but what it may lack In editing is made up for by sheer gripping plot and attention to detail, which makes this crime thriller almost real I hope he’s writing more!
