Magpie Lane
by Lucy Atkins
“That’s what I love about suspense when it’s done well: it’s really powered by oddness and creepiness and things that are just a bit off and unsettling,” author Lucy Atkins told us in her interview on the best classic thrillers. That’s exactly what she achieves in Magpie Lane, a psychological thriller set in Oxford, England.
Many thanks to novelist Adele Geras for bringing Magpie Lane to our attention.
