Robert Harris doesn’t write boring books. His latest, Act of Oblivion, takes true events from the 17th century and turns them into a clever, tense and thoroughly modern thriller which is a masterclass in storytelling.

If you’re looking for a tale to grip you on the beach or chilling on your staycation this might just fit the bill.

His stories always have a fair bit of intellectual weight but they never fail to entertain and grab your attention. This one involves a manhunt across continents for two men responsible for the execution of King Charles II.

It’s full of political intrigue and might even make you think you could be tempted to do a bit of historical research into the period yourself. And there are some interesting and amusing present-day parallels to be trawled for. But Harris manages always to humanise his characters, giving the reader sometimes teasing insights into what makes his protagonists tick and leaving us to make connections - always fun.

Good immersive reading. He does write well.
