I have been reading a lot of crime fiction over the last few months which really ties in with all the crime writing I have been doing. I have exhausted James Patterson, having read all the Alex Cross novels bar one and am now going through some brilliant writing from Michael Connelly.

I have started out with the Poet which has many a link to Edgar Allan Poe – an interesting writer in himself! I find Connelly’s style very compelling and he has that real page turner gift in his writing.

I shall post a review of his book when I have finished it. In the meantime, if you have read any great crime novels then please list them below – no spoilers though please!
