Profile Books are incredibly proud to announce that we have two books on the 2023 Waterstones Book of the Year shortlist. In a listing of just 14 titles, we are thrilled to see Mary Beard’s magisterial Emperor of Rome and G. T. Karber’s devilishly devious Murdle Vol. 1 honoured. Take a look at the full Waterstones shortlist here.
A Sunday Times bestseller, Mary Beard’s critically-acclaimed Emperor of Rome is a fascinating look at the social and political world of ancient Rome’s rulers. Beard’s sweeping account is more than a chronology of the Roman emperors, but instead asks the bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? And what was it truly like to be a Roman? This is ancient history as it has never been seen before.
Another Sunday Times bestseller, Murdle Vol. 1 is the utterly addictive murderous puzzle book for armchair detectives everywhere. Join Deductive Logico and pit your wits against a slew of dastardly villains in order to solve 100 original murder mystery logic puzzles.
