What Julia is looking for
Julia is a huge fan of upmarket crime and thrillers by writers such as Gillian Flynn, Louise Candlish, Liz Nugent and Jane Harper, as well as upmarket true crime (The Fact of a Body, I’ll be Gone in the Dark). She is also on the lookout for immaculately voiced historical fiction that reflects contemporary preoccupations, and novels with elements of light horror, gothic, or the supernatural.
