I was wondering whether to read Stone Yard Devotional, however, like you I have read Anne Michael’s Held, and found there was something definitely lacking. With so many books I want to read, I will give Stone Yard a miss. I’m a fan of The Secret History though - and my favourite book is Tartt’s The Goldfinch.
Love Donna Tartt! Agree entirely re Held. I wanted to love Stone Yard and Held, but there wasn't quite enough there for me. For what it's worth, I enjoyed Orbital and The Safekeep from the Booker 2024 shortlist. I haven't had a chance to try James or Creation Lake yet!
