Tracy, Rich, yes, I should start to take a read and thanks for the tips of Hatchards Crime Companion and Murder Ink. I just have this feeling that my academic side will kick-in and I'll start putting together my own book! The person do this of course is Margot Kinberg, not me.Rob Kitchinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567424969308636082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825564497920015595.post-3908740199976126562014-05-18T12:03:41.880+01:002014-05-18T12:03:41.880+01:00I only came across 280 Steps last week.

They've got some interesting titles and their covers are excellent.<br /><br />I've been reading books about crime fiction almost as long as I've been reading crime fiction, and it's just possible I enjoy them as much as the books themselves. The Hatchards Crime Companion was one of the things which led me to blogging, but my favourite is an odd book called Murder Ink which I'll have to review one day. It's a tongue-in-cheek portmanteau of appreciations, puzzles, gazeteers, and non-fiction.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825564497920015595.post-57815953212630090172014-05-18T03:52:24.135+01:002014-05-18T03:52:24.135+01:00I am very fond of books about crime fiction and a...I am very fond of books about crime fiction and authors. I sometimes find that I have to put off reading the interviews or overviews because they tell more than I want to know about a book or series. But still, they are usually very enjoyable and lead me to new books and authors. Haut's books sound very interesting.TracyK @Bitter Tea and Mysteryhttp://bitterteaandmystery.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-825564497920015595.post-38478117286017725902014-05-16T17:15:43.570+01:002014-05-16T17:15:43.570+01:00Len Wanner's interviews of crime writers are w...Len Wanner's interviews of crime writers are well worth reading, and hugely informative - see http://blastedheath.com/len-wanner/Sandra Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788472031698175632noreply@blogger.com
