A Good Read

Sharleen Spiteri & Hugh Dennis


Listen Later

The lead singer of Glasgow band Texas Sharleen Spiteri selects a contemporary thriller The Secretary by Renee Knight as her good read. Hugh Dennis goes back to a book he remembers from when his vicar father had a parish in east London. Hawksmoor by Peter Ackroyd is a murder story featuring the eponymous 1980s detective investigating macabre deaths in seven London churches built in the 1800s.

Caitlin Moran's How To Be A Woman is Harriett's choice.
