This year I plan to go through the entire alphabet, one letter per month. For March 2021, I’m listing all of my favourite novels that begin with the letter ‘C‘. I am choosing these titles from the books I’ve read since I began blogging seriously – five years ago (when I retired). There are 11 books recommended here.
If the title begins with an initial article such as The, A, An etc., I will be using the second word. For instance, “A Man called Ove” will be included in my M post. “The Silent Patient” will be listed in my S post.
Hopefully you’ll find something that interests you from these posts. As always, I’ve linked the book cover to Goodreads, and the title link will take you to my review of the book.
“The Craftsman” by Sharon Bolton
“The Chalk Man” by C.J. Tudor
“The Crossing” by Matt Brolly
“The Cuckoo’s Calling” by Robert Galbraith
“The Companion” by Kim Taylor Blakemore
“The Child” by Fiona Barton
“The Creak on the Stairs” by Eva Björg Ægisdóttir
“The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae” by Stephanie Butland
“The Child Garden” by Catriona McPherson
“A Cold War” by Alan Russell
“Child’s Play” by Angela Marsons
If you have already read any of these titles, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

This is a fun idea! I haven’t read any of these, but a couple of ‘C’ books I’ve loved recently are Consent by Annabel Lyon and Crocuses Hatch From Snow by Jaime Burnet.

I read The Craftsman, The Chalk Man, The Child, and Child’s Play. I enjoyed all of them. I have The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae and The Child Garden on my TBR. Thanks for the reminder.

Seems like we enjoy quite a few of the same books Carla. BTW, the sequel to “The Craftsman” is supposed to be coming out this year. Yippee!

I read four…..”The Craftsman” by Sharon Bolton; “The Chalk Man” by C. J. Tudor (which I found very slow and a bit flat); “The Cuckoo’s Calling” by Robert Galbraith; and “The Child” by Fiona Barton (wish she would write another book). Enjoyed them all except the second!

Thanks for your comments Gaye. I did enjoy ‘The Chalk Man’ very much, but I liked her book ‘The Hiding Place’ much less.

The only one I’ve read is The Chalk Man, which I thought was okay. There was so much hype about it that made my expectations too high and I was disappointed. Can’t like them all eh?

Ha Nicki… high expectations have a lot to answer for. I really did enjoy “The Chalk Man” a lot. I then went on the read her “The Hiding Place” which I enjoyed less, but it was still okay.

Loved The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae. I was an early reader for that one, to cast an eye over the Edinburgh details 😊
