‘This year’s shortlists show how the genres of thriller and crime fiction need not stick to a formula. They represent a breadth of voice, theme, and structure. Yet, despite this variety, they all – with ease – eliminate that element of violence towards women that can become a part of the genre trope. These pieces prove that good writing can reflect an ever changing literary landscape.’ Rachel Marsh, Chair of Judges
