Charles Palliser recommends

The Strangler Vine (2014)
(Blake and Avery, book 1)
M J Carter
"This is a gripping story of conspiracy and betrayal set in an early Victorian India that is rendered with complete conviction. And as a historian, the author offers a thought-provoking re-interpretation of the Thuggee story."
thumb
The Song of Achilles (2011)
Madeline Miller
"Many thanks for sending me Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles. I found it a real page-turner. It's a gripping narrative and vividly told. The fighting is very well described and that's hard to pull off. It's also an interesting take on Homer and the author obviously knows the poem and the period. I'm sure it will be a huge success."

The Music of the Spheres (2001)
Elizabeth Redfern
"I found this novel unputdownable. The complex narrative is brilliantly handled to keep the reader guessing right to the end... fascinating..."
