A new month naturally brings a new installment of Mike Ripley’s “Getting Away with Murder” column in Shots. For November, the droll Mr. R. recounts the literary adventures of “the Postmortem Man”; suggests that Ariana Franklin (Mistress of the Art of Death) is “surely the hot favourite for the Ellis Peters Award in November”; applauds British debut novelist Nicola Upson for having “hit on the wizard wheeze of using one of the best-loved British writers of crime fiction, Josephine Tey, as a detective” (in An Expert in Murder, due out from Faber and Faber in March); and calls out the spelling police on Claire Seeber’s debut thriller, Lullaby--cos he can.
Read all of Ripley’s column here. And “Getting Away with Murder” is now also available in a PDF format (see the icon at the bottom of the page), apparently for those people who are planning to sock every installment away in a scrapbook.
