Goings and Comings

British author and raconteur Mike Ripley has posted his February “Getting Away with Murder” column in Shots. Among the mix of mentions this time are lamentations over the closing of London’s Murder One Bookstore (though its mail-order business survives), recommendations of Stanley Casson’s Murder by Burial (1938) and Jo Walton’s Farthing (2006), and a welcome to Julia Handford, who takes over as the Sunday Telegraph’s new crime-fiction critic, following the death in December of Susanna Yager.

Catch all of Ripley’s reflections on the genre here.
