I've realized that I approach all British mystery shows as cozy mysteries when a lot of them are very lurid! I was not prepared by the amount of incest and theremin in Midsomer Murders

Q: How is The Hairdresser Mysteries different to other crime shows? A: Firstly, we're hairdressers. Our priorities are different – it’s gossip-led, not fact-led! www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

I like watching the Poirot where Emily Blunt does coke like a fancy lady.

Monday

I've always loved the Hamish Macbeth TV series, so thought I'd try a book. I just listened to the M.C. Beaton book "Death of a Village" - the 18th. I really loved how fast-paced the novel was, while Hamish solved a series of crimes and constantly dodged promotion. Lovely.

About to donate some old books to the charity bookshop, and I'm wondering whether to include this one. It includes a section on POV, and implies that the Sherlock Holmes stories are written in the Second Person, because they're from Watson's POV and he's a secondary character.

Well, no one's photogenic in every holiday memory! Unless you're Tom Selleck, of course. #SleuthsOnHoliday #holidaysnaps

Sleuthing sheep, Young Sherlock and a new Poirot: how amateur detectives took over our screens

app.thestorygraph.com/books/7b103a... Initially thought was an Agatha Christie book, probably because “Agatha” and “Christie” are in large font on the cover. It’s a collection of 12 short stories by 12 authors featuring Christie’s Marple character. I give it a rating of 4/5 Marples 👍 #booksky

She's very good in The Marlow Murder Club. If you like cozy murder mystery I can recommend it.

Watching Midsomer Murders: "there can't be many left alive."

Great to hear that 'Reassessing Murder, She Wrote' won the International Crime Fiction Association Book Prize. I was very happy to contribute a chapter but the credit and praise goes to editors Eva Burke and Jennifer Schnabel, of course! #MurderSheWrote
