Rosie Claverton - My Life In Books
The Strangler Vine by M.J. Carter This historical crime novel is set in 19th Century India and introduces the intrepid Blake and Avery. I love how Carter brings her world and characters to life.
Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie I had the privilege to read this novel while travelling on the Nile, and it made the book come alive in such wonderful ways. Even though it seems to take forever to get to the murder, you don’t regret the journey.
None So Blind by Alis Hawkins Set in the wilds of West Wales just after the Rebecca Riots, this excellent historical crime novel touches on issues of class, language, conformity, and disability with a deft hand.
London Falling by Paul Cornell The first in the Shadow Police series, these fantastical crime novels are a treat – with a representative cast bringing a dark and desperate London to life.
HMS Surprise by Patrick O’Brian I love the third book in my favourite historical series – though most will be more familiar with Master and Commander from the film of the same name. These books have everything, from sailing to natural history to espionage to surgery to romance.
A Moment of Silence by Anna Dean These delightful books are what happens when Jane Austen meets Miss Marple and creates Dido Kent. Such a feel-good series, but with emotional and historical honesty at its heart.
Inconvenient People: Lunacy, Liberty and the Mad-Doctors in Victorian England by Sarah Wise
This non-fiction book takes an overview of 19th Century asylum practices through a series of cases, and it’s a truly fascinating read.
Temeraire by Naomi Novik Sailing ships and dragons are two of my favourite things, so why not combine them? If you prefer standalone fantasy, Novik’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver are also beyond excellent.
The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes A time-travelling serial killer and a woman who refuses to be a victim. The fantastical elements really make this book.
