My Favourite Reads of 2024

My favourite books this year were a mix of crime and historical fiction, in no particular order:

The Briar Club by Kate Quinn

Set in post-World War II Washington, D.C., this novel is full of mystery and secrets, with a fascinating cast of characters and a cleverly woven twist. The story depicts the paranoia of the McCarthy era, shifting societal attitudes and the changing roles of women. High
