This original high concept thriller from Japan has the most fascinating set-up.

A murder mystery - with a dash of rom-com!

...You get 4 meddling Asian Aunties coming to the rescue!"
Why I'm looking forward to it:
Pitched as The Get Out meets The Devil Wears Prada this sounds perfect!

...What could possibly connect them?''
9) I Know What You've Done | Dorothy Koomson | Released: 8th July
Why I'm looking forward to it:
I just love Koomson's dark, tightly plotted tales. Those devastating twists make her unmissable for me.
"What if all your neighbours secrets landed in a diary on your doorstep?
What if the woman who gave it to you was murdered by one of the people in the diary?
What if the police asked if you knew anything?
Would you hand over the book of secrets?
Or... would you try to find out what everyone had done?"
10) Hostage | Clare Mackintosh | Released: 8th July
Why I'm looking forward to it:
Mackintosh always knows how to get your pulse racing and this one sounds epic.
"You can save hundreds of lives,
