Kerri's book Pick of the Week is "An Officer and a Spy" by bestselling thriller writer Robert Harris. It's a retelling of the story of Alfred Dreyfus, a French officer falsely accused and convicted of treason in 1894.

Even if you are knowledgeable about the particulars of the Dreyfus Affair, you'll be engrossed in the book, writes Christobel Kent in The Guardian.

"Against the odds, the result is both gripping thriller and Buchan-esque adventure: its revelations impeccably paced and its original material used to poignant effect," he writes.
