[…] I like early Marlowe when he’s comfortable with his flaws and his weaknesses. There’s a much softer Marlowe in there and a much more likable Marlowe.”
—Denise Mina on being the first woman to continue the story of Raymond Chandler’s foundational detective

“Questions of identity permeate her novels. […] Masks and the identities they hide run through her work like the unifying thread in a tapestry.”

“Gordon Daviot” was courted by Hollywood; “Josephine Tey” was ‘the crime writer’s crimewriter’; & “F. Craigie Howe” might have become a household name too if Elizabeth MacKintosh—the Inverness writer behind all three pseudonyms—had survived beyond her 57th year

So preposterous as to be risible. 😂 #detectivefiction #whodunit

Alvey (aka @JulietEMcKenna). Absolutely superb. :D Only problem is I want to do a readthrough of "The Builders" now... ;-) #JMAlvey #Books #DetectiveFiction #HistoricalFiction #JulietMcKenna

I’m an American-Kiwi living in Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington). I’m an #academic with an interest in #edtech and #pd for staff. I am married with two #greyhoundsaspets. I enjoy #knitting, #crochet, #sciencefiction, and #detectivefiction. There are probably other things I could say, but can’t think what right now. I’m looking forward to exploring more.
