New Year's Eve is often a time for reflection. Plenty of good things have happened in the past twelve months, as well as, inevitably, some not so good. Here is a random selection of photos of a few of the moments I am delighted to remember from the past year.
This is also a time for listing the year’s highlights. I’ve been delighted by the reception accorded to Dancing for the Hangman, and Marshal Zeringue kindly featured it in his fascinating page 69 feature recently.
Looking ahead, publication of The Serpent Pool is not too far away, and I’m gratified by an extremely positive review from Kerrie, whose Mysteries in Paradise blog is a must-read for crime fans. I dropped her an email to thank her, and she invited me to list my ten favourite crime novels read in 2009. I’ve done just that here, and added my favourite non-fiction crime book as well, for good measure….

Nice positive recap of the year behind us, Martin. Congratulations on your writerly successes these past twelve months. Hope 2010 will bring a few more!
Happy New Year - looking forward to reading 'The Serpent Pool' in February.
I got my husband the 'Hangman' book for Christmas. He can't wait to read it!
Margot, Elizabeth, Seana, Jilly and Nan - may I reciprocate your good wishes and hope you all have a great year to come.
Nan, I hope your husband likes the book!
