C&R Crime launch included the publication of The Circus, James Craig's fourth novel in the Inspector Carlyle series and The Poacher's Son by Paul Doiron.
I was delighted to be invited to the C&R Crime launch party which was held on 28 February 2012 at The Gallery at the Crypt, St Martin in the Fields, Trafalgar Square.

I travelled down to London by train early that evening and found my way to The Crypt which was a fantastic location for a Crime Party - wonderfully atmospheric, with dark nooks and crannies everywhere.
I really enjoyed the party and met up with some other book bloggers and publishers. There were so many authors there, it was really lovely to hear MC Beaton give a speech - she's just about to publish her 106th novel - what an amazing lady. I spotted Cath Staincliffe across the room, but was never able to actually get through the crush to say hello. I did meet Quentin Bates - I'm a huge fan of his novels and it was great to meet him at last, after being Facebook friends for ages. Poor man, I grilled him about the next book in his series.
I really enjoyed the evening and was delighted to come away with a lovely goodie bag full of exciting new releases from C&R Crime.

Can't believe I've found a fellow soul who loves getting anything in the post. I entered a book giveaway recently and didn't win BUT the author was so impressed that someone in the UK had entered a US book competition that she sent me TWO signed copies of the book which arrived today! Maybe I'll be lucky with this one too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like just my sort of book.
ReplyDeleteCrime fiction is the only genre I read so I hope I win this - it sounds like a good read.
