Sharleen Spiteri & Hugh Dennis
Sharleen Spiteri, lead singer of Texas and the actor and comedian Hugh Dennis choose their favourite books to recommend to Harriett Gilbert.
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.
