What Charlotte is looking for
In fiction, Charlotte looks for book club and literary fiction as well as outstanding character- and voice-driven crime, thriller and suspense. The dark, Gothic and uncanny will always have a strong place on her list; meanwhile, she’d especially love to see: a big will-they-won’t-they love story, and love stories of all kinds, not just romantic love
Actively seeking
- a big will-they-won’t-they love story, and love stories of all kinds, not just romantic love
- sweeping family stories, and other multigenerational/international/polyphonic novels
- sharply observed contemporary stories that will make her both laugh and cry
- historical fiction from a slant
- a Highsmithian thriller (think imposters, intruders, cat-and-mouse games…)
- a beautifully written crime novel or thriller that transcends and subverts our expectations of the genre
