WATERS (SARAH) The Little Stranger (£25)

An atmospheric and utterly compelling take on the classic 'haunted house' story. Waters brilliantly captures the social changes afoot in late 1940s Britain through the middle-aged, level-headed narrator, Dr Faraday, who is drawn into the plight of the aristocratic Ayres family. But who is to blame for the family's increasing misfortunes? Are they victims of a changing society and their own inability to modernise, or is the downfall of Hundreds Hall a result of something more sinister? Without a doubt her best book yet.
