Julian Ovenden's 6 best books

Julian Ovenden is an English actor and singer most recently seen as the dashing Charles Blake in Downton Abbey.

One of his six best books, as shared at the Daily Express:
CHILD 44
Tom Rob Smith

As I mentioned I love a good crime novel but am very picky about which ones as they can so often be formulaic and unimaginative.

This is definitely a superior read. Gripping, complex and disturbing.

A great holiday read.
Read about another book on the list.

Child 44 is among J. Kingston Pierce's top eight former Soviet Union-set crime and thriller novels and Rebecca Armstrong's ten best thrillers.

The Page 69 Test: Child 44.
