Every Last Fear by Alex Findlay
As always, Alex Findlay weaves a fast-paced and complex whodunnit, where figuring out the motive is the real reward. An engaging novel, which will be almost impossible to put down. 4/5
The Madwomen of Paris by Jennifer Cody Epstein
A historical fiction murder mystery set in 19th-century Paris in the famous Salpêtrière asylum. The story centers around two women, Laure and Josephine. Laure is a former patient at the asylum and current ward attendant, who is desperate to leave and find her missing sister, Amélie. Josephine is a young woman with amnesia who arrives at the asylum covered in blood and suffering from trauma. As the novel progresses, Laure and Josephine form a bond while navigating the questionable treatments within the asylum and attempting to find ways out of their respective dilemmas. Very well researched and more gripping than the title infers. Fact and fiction intertwine very believably and seamlessly. 4/5
