So tune up your detective talents and act fast to enter.I’m looking forward myself to attending next month’s CrimeFest. Last year’s convention offered plenty of opportunities to mix with notable authors. It was also an excellent opportunity for organizers Adrian Muller and Myles Allfrey (shown at right)--who had previously put together the one-off Left Coast Crime convention in Bristol in 2006--to show that the most populous city in South West England can become home to one of the world’s foremost annual caucuses of crime-fiction enthusiasts.
I hope to see you in Bristol in mid-May.
