Sarah Pinborough’s #WeLiveHereNow is an evocative & wonderfully clever Gothic mystery that chills & delights in equal measure. Without question it has one of the most rewarding conclusions I’ve read in a long time. I'm still smiling. @sarahpinborough.bsky.social at her best. @sameades.bsky.social

AA Dhands’s #TheChemist is a timely unsparing thriller that does not pull its punches. Touted as Breaking Bad meets Dexter, I can see why. In Idris Khan, Dhand has created a flawed hero whose choices I didn’t always agree with but at the same time I wanted him to succeed. Deserves all the success.
Superb marketing here for AA Dhand’s new thriller, #TheChemist. I read the brilliant pilot script for this a while back so really looking forward to getting stuck in.
