I love crime fiction at the short length and ‘Original Sins’ looks like a highly entertaining and varied anthology.<br /><br />I’ve just returned from holiday on the south coast, and one of the places visited was Lyme Regis. It was there, at the Antiques & Craft Centre opposite the Cobb, that I found a second-hand copy of ‘Perfectly Criminal’, the first CWA annual anthology under your editorship, dating from 1996.<br /><br />I see that Ian Rankin’s contribution ‘Herbert In Motion’ went on to win a CWA Dagger. Wonder whether there’ll turn out to be a Dagger or two, or perhaps a ‘Best of British Mysteries’, amongst the tales in your new book. Wonder, also, whether any of the contributors have used their piece as a test bed for a future series character, as John Harvey did in ‘Snow, Snow, Snow’, where Will Grayson and Helen Walker appeared for the first time.<br /><br />I like your story ‘Where Do You Get Your Ideas?’ I spotted the origin of your blog title of course; also possibly the origin of your new anthology’s title in the description of Gerard Bubb’s character, the lapsed Catholic Inspector Dooley. Just relieved to read that there’s no resemblance between yourself and your fictional author…!<br /><br />Good luck with ‘Original Sins’. Hope ‘Guilty Consciences’ will be following soon.<br /><br />Regards, PaulPaul Beechnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291823984059320518.post-27193065512524715582010-09-23T21:06:12.090+01:002010-09-23T21:06:12.090+01:00Wow!
