The Lamplighters
Emma Stonex, Picador, £14.99
Inspired by the 1900 vanishing of the Flannan Isles lighthouse keepers, this haunting novel pitches the reader into 1972 and an eerily abandoned Cornish lighthouse.
The door is locked from the inside, the clocks have stopped and the keepers are gone.
Two decades on, the women they left behind are struggling and the writer tries to piece together how the tragedy unfolded.
