|title= Exquisite
|rating= 4.5
|genre= Thrillers
|summary= I was looking forward to reading ''Exquisite'' ever since I first heard about it, and it didn't disappoint. It's a murky, suggestive thriller about two very different women who find themselves fascinatingly connected; it's a compulsive, attention-grabbing read that had me hunched up in bed till 1am, desperate to finish it as soon as I could. It's clever, excellently-paced, and uncannily realistic.
It's just a pity that I managed to figure out the ending about a quarter of the way in.

|summary=Picture a world where you, a new mother, move to a town where you slowly start to realise that every other woman seems a replica of you – dressing and doing as you do. Consider a place where you have a perfect other half – most literally – but it's only to be found on an alien planet. Or how about the woman who suddenly finds she can see everything and everyone else alive as having no skin, just organs, tissue and bone as if everyone was having a Gunther von Hagens plastination job? A lot of these stories are hard to summarise without dropping into the voice of the ''Twilight Zone'' narration, but they're not specifically genre works – they're just further examples of this author's unsettling look at the bizarre elements of life.
