Nice selection of authors, Nadine!

I went to a talk with Chris Brookmyre recently, he's one half of Ambrose Parry and part of a group of crime authors who play in a band called the Fun Lovin' Crime Writers. They were practicing for Glastonbury and had a book event at one of my local bookshops which was enormous fun.

And I have a ticket to listen to Peter May in September when his new book comes out. I love the Harris trilogy (now it will be a quartet I suppose).
