Euan Thorneycroft

A.M. Heath & Co. Ltd

Euan loves novels with propulsive stories, fascinating characters and great heart, whether commercial fiction or something more literary. He seeks first-in-class storytelling that makes the reader care. He specialises in crossover literary/commercial fiction (“Bookclub fiction”) that starts conversations and taps into the zeitgeist, with examples including Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid and The List by Yomi Adegoke, as well as immersive, transporting novels like Still Life by Sarah Winman and Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason. He reads crime and thrillers, from police procedurals to spy fiction, psychological suspense and full-throttle action adventure, and seeks unusual and imaginative hooks. He is drawn to authors such as Mick Herron, Cara Hunter, MJ Arlidge, TM Logan and Chris Whitaker, and to boundary-pushing crime novels like My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, Eight Detectives by Alex Pavesi and The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. Historical fiction is another passion, whether a historical crime series in the vein of Laura Shepherd Robinson or Elodie Harper, or stand-alone novels such as The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins and The Leviathan by Rosie Andrews, with vivid setting and complex characters. In non-fiction, he loves memoirs, stand-outs include Educated by Tara Westover, The Shepherd’s Life by James Rebanks and Do No Harm by Henry Marsh, and works with experts in history, science, technology, politics and nature to craft narrative-driven books.
