Meet four authors who understand the complexities and capabilities of minds built differently.

Stef Penney’s tense thriller The Long Water features the misanthropic Svea, an outsider who harbours the darkest of secrets. The Mystery Guest is the second novel featuring Nita Prose’s beguiling Molly Gray, star of her smash hit debut The Maid. Dark humour and an endearingly flawed heroine are at the heart of Joanna Wallace’s mesmerising The Dead Friend Project. Sarah Hilary’s rich gift for sympathetically showcasing extraordinary minds is on full display in her captivating new novel Sharp Glass.
