The reluctant blogger

Okay, so I’ve caved in. After much procrastination I have taken the advice of friends and decided to write a blog about my love of all things crime fiction. So, pretty soon I will post that list of my favourite crime fiction reads of 2013 so far. Many of you will have tweeting with me about them over the past few months. I’ve chosen ten and explained why they make the list.

In the future I will blog about films as well as books. So please do let me know some of your own favourites across the years. My own book and film recall goes back to the mid seventies, when I was a tiny little thing on my daddy’s knee. He had me watching Francis Durbridge plays on the tv, and reading out chunks of his books to me – that’s how it all started. Bless you dad, wherever you now are. You’re influence is ever present.
