The End of the Game by Holly Watt, set in the football world, is recommended by the Telegraph in its list of the best thrillers of the season. The fourth in Watt's Casey Benedict series, Watt steps out of her usual mode to infiltrate the world of game fixing as an WAG. The journalist's musings inject a moral edge into the story, making it thought-provoking and gripping. The list also includes A Death in the Parish by Richard Coles, an entertaining and sensitive portrayal of Canon Daniel Clement's attempts to guide the bereaved, Clyde Morton's Viper’s Dream by Jake Lamar, and #Panic by Luke Jennings.
