A great thriller!

Of all the good opinions I was most anxious to secure, author @CauveryMadhavan was top. So phew! And thank you!

In Belfast? Love books? Join me & @malodoherty on Thursday 13th Nov, 6pm at @NoAlibisPress bookshop to launch my book Murder in Moonlit Square. It's the first in my new Irish-Indian cosy crime series set in Delhi. https://t.co/iAEQ3hEEcx Pub by @bedsqpublishers / @noexitpress

Been there and done it 👏🤔 Both the diabolical N London soft play of same name and the crime thriller about spooks, secrets and the Troubles. Never Ask The Dead, DI Sheen 3 and now Clown Town by Mick Herron.

Fellow crime author @jjulieanderson and I have co-written an article for the very first edition of the great new @aspectsofcrime magazine. The subject is portraying real-life criminals in fiction. Pictured mid-20th century London underworld kings Jack ‘Spot’ Comer and Billy Hill.

It's not entertainment, but the voice of artists/writers is essential to this conversation. @adrianmckinty @stuartneville glad to be part of it. #peace What do the new Northern Ireland Troubles legacy proposals entail? | Northern Ireland | The Guardian

Nice job @MarkEllis15 Death of an Officer weaves a path through wartime London; starting with the mysterious murder of a reputable Indian doctor, the body of an American officer dumped in a bomb site, and along the seedy underbelly of the London nightclub scene. More Merlin!! 👏

I simply loved this little gem by Robert Lautner. Quint’s voice growls and cackles in my mind long after the final page. Brutal and quite honestly brilliant. @robertlautner2 Well done sir.

As you scan this post I say: For inspiration, in writing, and beyond, look skyward. Last night's partial eclipse of the moon caught over North London. Mesmerized me for a time. The silver apples of the moon The golden apples of the sun. The Song of Wandering Aengus
