Matthew Booth

Looking forward to appearing again at the second Death in the Dales this October. And in esteemed company, once again. Save the date and come along!

Good event tonight at Leigh Library, peddling my wares and introducing new readers to Everett Carr. Thanks to Wigan Libraries for organising the event.

An underrated story in my view. Simple but effective. A nice little twist to it, a very good clue in the breaking of the coronet, and a nasty villain who is a prototype for similar and better ones to come.

Superb first reviews for my new Everett Carr novel, The Serpent's Fang. If you haven't discovered Carr yet, make sure you do. Any fan of Poirot, Wimsey, and the Golden Age gang won't be disappointed!

Thank you very much. I hope you enjoy it.

That's a mystery nobody can solve.

Thinking about it makes me want to put some work into my idea for a 1960s crime series set in Stockport, Manchester. My own version of Endeavour - sort of.

Destroyed but triumphant!

Very much so. That would have spoilt it. I much prefer the idea that Morse keeps his word for the greater good than Fred dying. A wise move. It has its highs and lows, but overall, it is a damned good series.

I don't know what you mean... *sniff* *snuffle*

That is my equivalent of Hugo from Dead of Night or Fats from Magic.
