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.
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.
