More New Books in 2008

I wrote a couple of weeks ago about some of the new books I’m looking forward to reading in 2008. Here are a few more:

C.J. Sansom, Winter in Madrid, Viking, January 2008. It’s a spy thriller set in 1940s Spain. I liked Sansom’s mysteries set i the time of Henry VIII, so I think I’d like to give this one a try, too.

Tod Wodicka, All Shall Be Well: And All Shall Be Well; and All Manner of Things Shall Be Well, Pantheon, January 2008. This novel is about the life of a modern medieval re-enactor who moves between time periods, continents, and histories both real and re-enacted. Sounds intriguing. I like the title.

Kate Morton, The House at Riverton, Atria, April 2008. I saw a link to a revew of this book by Wendy at caribousmom at the Saturday Review. And here’s another by The Random Wonderer.

And doesn’t this one sound . . . wild? Nicola Upson, An Expert in Murder, HarperCollins, June 2008. Mystery writer Josephine Tey, on a train journey from Scotland to London in 1934, investigates the death of a young woman.

I gleaned all of these titles from the Historical Novel Society’s Forthcoming Fiction page.
