Reader dismay follows fantasy switch by fave crime author

To see the name of crime fiction favourite Jo Nesbo shouting at us from a book’s cover is generally enough to persuade us to cough up the required cover price. No waiting for the cheaper paperback edition or shopping around but an immediate done deal. Instant gratification is guaranteed. But not on this occasion. Instead, the…

Baby-snatch thriller adds riddle of which author wrote which part

Two puzzles for the price of one As if one superbly twisted plot was not enough, two top crime writers have united to leave readers puzzling over who wrote what. Author credits for The Wrong Child are highlighted on the cover as MJ Arlidge and Julia Crouch. Both have long been famed as being among…

Thrills remain though we know who dunnit

The prime joy of reading crime fiction is puzzling out “who dunnit”. Yet here’s a thriller in which we know who the guilty parties are almost from the get go. And yet we are still happy to go along for the ride. Wondering where this horror journey can possibly end – and how many victims…
