    Hi Madeleine and Robin - what a lovely cheerful interview. Fascinating to find out how people started their writing careers ... and clever to tie all the loose ends into a satisfying murderous plot line for your two detectives. I read lots of Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh etc growing up ... and loved Maigret once it hit the tv!!

    Still the two detectives stand out .. and will inspire other readers to write and uncover plots .. cheers Hilary

      Thanks Hilary, Yes she's written some great stories and I've certainly learned lots about new authors, that you also mention, to get my teeth into with #2 of Robin's interview.

    Great interview. I am a big fan of crime novels too. It is one of my favourite genres. Comfort reading (which makes me sound like a sick puppy).
