I was captivated by the 2012 release from M J Rose The Book of Lost Fragrances and so I am excited to be reviewing her next title being released in May 2013, Seduction. Booklover Book Reviews will be the Historical Fiction Virtual Book Tour stop on 10 April.

Kate Forsyth’s last novel Bitter Greens, a wonderfully imaginative and colourful retelling of the Rapunzel fairytale held a place in my Best Books of 2012 list. Her latest novel set for release on 18 March, The Wild Girl, tells the story of a young girl that lived next door to the well known Grimm brothers in early nineteenth century Germany. The beautiful chunky Vintage paperback that arrived in my mailbox last week was signed by the very sweet Aussie author.

Another Sun by Timothy Williams is set for release by Soho Press in April 2013. The synopsis describing a strong female lead investigating a murder in the exotic setting of Guadeloupe in the Caribbean caught my attention. I have not read anything from Timothy Williams before, but The Observer named him one of the 10 Best Modern European Crime Writers.
