This is the blog of Sarah Ward, a crime fiction reader, blogger and reviewer.
I’ve been reading crime fiction for years. I looked recently at my copy of HRF Keating’s ‘Whodunnit’, which my mother bought for me when I was 13. I was already reading enough crime fiction to need a reference book to find new writers. And I’m still looking…..
As well as this blog, I review at crimesquad.com and Eurocrime and I like to support other bloggers in their reading and reviewing endeavours. So don’t be surprised if I pop up on your blog.
I’m one of the judges for The Petrona Award for the Best Scandinavian Crime Novel of the Year and I particularly love reading translated crime fiction.
I’m writing my first crime novel which is set in the Derbyshire Peak District where I live.
I hope you enjoy looking at the reviews on this blog. It’s great to have a passion – and books are mine. I also like to sing. But that’s another story.
