I suppose your first blog post should be something well thought out and profound. Well, on this occasion I have decided to go for ill-considered and trivial.
I love to read fiction, work in a library and have in the last
few years become considerably less enamoured by modern crime and thriller novels
– the obsession with ‘reality’ and gore in place of a puzzle and a good story
is seriously leaving me cold.
I have, however, replaced the modern and the mundane with classic
murder which is a lot more wholesome and entertaining.
I love ‘golden-age’ and classic crime writing and thought it
might be worth sharing my thoughts on classic crime novels (as well as some
contemporary books) as I come across them and I hope this will be of interest
to anyone who comes across this blog!
Please feel free to agree with me or tell me what I have
missed in a novel that makes it great. Let’s
have a conversation but please, in the manner of the golden age, let’s be
polite!
So to kick things off…
