We've lost P G Wodehouse, Stella Gibbons, Tom Sharpe, Sue Townsend, David Nobbs, Kingsley Amis, George MacDonald Fraser and so many more and the bookshelves are missing great comedies and farces. I knew that I could get some great comedy from the clash of cultures between procedurally led modern police officers and cosy-loving murder-mystery fans, especially if I set them off all trying to solve the same crime. The icing on the cake was when I witnessed inter-fan group rivalries at the San Diego Comicon; so I set 'Murder' at a crime fiction convention. Inspiration can come from many directions at once.(less)

Sorry, We Are Closed

Don't blame the COVID-19. Don't blame the government. Put it down to the fact that this era of Colgan bloggage is over and it's time to move on.

And so, as of today, this blog is closed for business. However, a new blog is rising like a cut-price phoenix from the ashes of previous blogs ...
