Huge thanks to @JakeKerridge for including Paperboy in this list - The 21 best crime and thriller novels of 2025. Some incredible authors on here. I'm a big fan of Nick Harkaway's Titanium Noir series, it's a trip to be listed along with it!

Huge thanks to @JakeKerridge for including PAPERBOY in his round up of the best new crime and thriller books of 2025!
"a vision of Glasgow as a technicolor hellhole of corruption, reminiscent of James Ellroy’s Los Angeles" - that really made my day!

'Berry has all of le Carré’s cynicism about Western intelligence services & outsoars him in her ability to convincingly evoke a love affair against an espionage backdrop. This is a star in the making'
Thanks @JakeKerridge @TelegraphBooks

The legend that is @PaulHeatonSolo, as brilliant as ever in #Telegraph today. Tickets prices for a vast amount, possibly the majority, of big artists, have become a huge swizz.
