"But his papers were my great crux. He had a horror of destroying documents, especially those which were connected with his past cases, and yet it was only once in every year or two that he would muster energy to docket and arrange them" (MUSG)

Still super annoyed with geoblocking #BBCSounds

It really worked for my Radio Gaga: Updating Literary Classics course. Some of my students have only just learnt to listen to & analyse audio adaptations and all of them enjoyed the access...
Not to mention my afternoons with McLevy, Poirot & Co. ...

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com books.

Two figures approach the Baggage Reclaim area of an airport.

One says “We wouldn't need to put things in the hold if you brought fewer books on holiday.”

Arriving on the carousel, amongst the bags and suitcases is a very large, well-stocked bookcase.

covering true crime in the media
the ethics of representing true crime
adapting and reinterpreting true crime
(de)mythologising perpetrators
the criminal-detective dynamic
voicing the victims and their families
the role of law enforcement
shifting formats of narrating true crime
marketing and reception
