David Roberts (novelist)

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

David Roberts is an English editor and novelist.

Roberts worked for several years as a book editor at Chatto and Windus, Weidenfeld & Nicolson, and Michael O'Mara Books. Since 2000 he has been a full-time writer, best known for a series of crime novels set during the late 1930s, and featuring the joint adventures of Lord Edward Corinth and Verity Browne. The novels use actual historical events as a backdrop and there is an Author's Note at the back of the books briefly outlining what happened to the historical characters subsequently.

Publishers Weekly has described his novels as "well-researched" and "first-rate fun".[1][2]
