Perfect for fans of Ben Aaronovitch, Genevieve Cogman or Robert Galbraith!’Stephanie Burgis, author of Snowspelled’The Lydia Crow books are a firm favourite of mine, combining intriguing crime fiction with a hint of other-worldly mysticism. The characters are brilliantly drawn, and Sarah Painter cleverly makes them believable despite them having magical powers – or even being dead. With just enough comedy to make the dark bits even darker, and the perfect amount of mystery, these books are a wonderful read.’ Kerry Barrett
