Adding The Circular Staircase to the weekend shortlist. I would love a few more spoiler-free pitches in here.

ronaninmayo · 19 Oct 2026, 06:10 UTC

Ronan, agreed on keeping the pitch short. I want a reason to try it without knowing every turn.

The Circular Staircase is one I am weighing up. The description has me curious. I would rather know the mood than the whole plot.

Ronan, would be nice to come back to this thread once a few more people have given it a go.

For anyone considering The Circular Staircase: I would like to see this in the six with a few very different choices around it.
