Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For the rules see her blog
The topic today is Books With Occupations in the Title (Submitted by Hopewell’s Public Library of Life). Mine are all fiction.
The Nine Tailors by Dorothy L Sayers – a Lord Peter Wimsey mystery
The Dancer at the Gai-Moulin by Georges Simenon – one of the early Maigret books
The Librarian by Salley Vickers – set in the 1950s about a Children’s Librarian
An Officer and a Spy by Robert Harris – the Dreyfus affair, 1890s
The Accordionist by Fred Vargas – quirky crime fiction, set in Paris
The Craftsman by Sharon Bolton – creepy crime fiction about a coffin-maker
The Sea Detective by Mark Douglas-Home – oceanographer, Cal McGill, more of an investigative story than crime fiction
The Hangman’s Song by James Oswald – the third Inspector McLean series set in Edinburgh, crime fiction with elements of the supernatural and parapsychology thrown in
The Dressmaker by Beryl Bainbridge – a wartime tale of life in Liverpool in 1944, with an under current of psychological suspense.
The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton – historical fiction set in the summer of 1862, a story of murder, mystery and thievery, of art, love and loss

You’ve got some great choices here, Margaret, as always. So many authors whose work I like, and you’ve reminded me that I haven’t yet read An Officer and a Spy and have meant to. Isn’t that the way, though? There are always so m any books that catch your interest but that you haven’t got to…

An Officer and a Spy is so good Margot, I hope you’ll find time to read it. And you’re right there are so many books that we’d like to read and haven’t got to!

Ugh. Thinking about how awful HANGMAN would be for a career.

Yes! It’s not a book for the faint-hearted or the squeamish either.

Nice list. I have “violinist” on my list, but “accordionist” is so much more unique!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
