Last week's read, which I bought purely for the title, was MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER by Rupert Holmes - the 1950s-set story of three students at a secret university for would-be killers with a just cause. A touch overlong, but clever, darkly satisying and wickedly funny.

THE TEST by Sylvain Neuvel. Black Mirror-esque story of a UK citizenship test that takes a frightening turn. A gripping study of ethics, how we treat those without power, and the nebulous concept of 'British Values'.

COMFORT ME WITH APPLES by Catherynne M Valente. The big reveal in this tale of a young wife unearthing the rot at the heart of her seemingly perfect world was pretty obvious, but Valente's writing is rich and gorgeous as ever.
