And how amazing it was for delegates like me, being able to mingle and chat with so many top authors of the genre. I was delighted to sip coffee or wine with several of my personal favourites.<br /><br />It was altogether a most interesting, inspiring and thoroughly enjoyable event, and we have you to thank for it, Martin. So here’s to you!<br /><br />I shall look forward to Alibis 2019.<br /><br />My very best,<br /><br />Paul <br />Paul Beechhttp://paulbeech.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-10448988529910526352018-06-11T22:33:12.729+01:002018-06-11T22:33:12.729+01:00So glad you enjoyed it, PeterSo glad you enjoyed it, PeterMartin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-29916567448122624942018-06-11T15:15:57.417+01:002018-06-11T15:15:57.417+01:00"I daresay you're wondering why I've ..."I daresay you're wondering why I've asked you to gather in the library." We gathered in time-honoured fashion and happily no one was taken away in handcuffs. I did see a few anxious faces and I spotted a possible murder weapon: Gladstone's fearsome axe in a glass case right next to the Crime Writers' Association archives. If the murderer got away without the corpse being discovered, it doesn't say much for the sleuthing ability of so many crime writers. Regardless of that, it was a lovely weekend.
