The Oxford Book Club - Sharon Bolton - 7th March 2017
Charles Nove stands in for David Prever this week, and is joined in the studio by author Sharon Bolton. The Essex Serpent looks set to be one of Sharon's favourite books of the year - the story of a widowed mother who moves to Essex and learns the legend of the Serpent, which seems to have reappeared. Watch Me by Angela Clarke has social media app Snapchat as a central theme, with the police given 24 hours to save an abducted woman. Sirens is the debut novel from Joseph Knox. It's a fast-moving, noir thriller about a disgraced detective who's forced to go undercover to investigate the drugs scene in Manchester - "Exceptionally good. Very, very slick".
