Peter James Recommends
Claire McGowan’s The Fall (Headline £12.99) is everything that – in my view – a fine crime novel should be. Sharp, intelligent writing that explores aspects of humankind, whilst never letting go its page-turning grip. In many ways a wonderful, modern British version of Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire Of The Vanities.
