Lymington Library


Gave a talk at Lymington Library yesterday. Lymington is a lovely little town based on the west side of the Solent and is a thriving yachting centre with cobbled winding streets leading down to a quaint quayside, a large marina overlooking the beautiful Isle of Wight and a tourist attraction. Reached through the stunning landscape of the New Forest there is a Wightlink ferry that runs across to Yarmouth on the Isle of Wight.


There wasn't a big crowd awaiting me but the people who came, as always were lovely, very interested in what I had to say and kind enough to buy some of my books. Thanks to Ann and Pauline for organizing the event and for the tea and cakes. And talking of tea, the day had the added bonus of bumping into some yachting friends of ours who happened to have sailed into Lymington on Monday and were staying in the marina for a couple of days. We had a cup of tea on board their boat before I went to give my talk. Very civilized. A great day out. And lots more ideas for my marine mysteries. I think Andy Horton might very well pay Lymington Marina a visit.

It is often difficult to find a new author and one whose novels you think you might enjoy but libraries are a great place for dipping your toe in the water, or rather for letting your fingers do the choosing and there is also a handy little book in UK libraries that can help with that.  It's called Who Else Writes Like? Reviewers have compared the Inspector Andy Horton novels to American writers, Ed McBain and Joseph Wambaugh and their British counterparts John Harvey and Peter Robinson both of the latter mentioned in the directory Who Else Writes Like? My crime novels are also compared to those written by Colin Dexter, Ann Cleeves, Robert Barnard, Graham Hurley, Dorothy Simpson and Neil White.   In addition, there is also a good website called Fantastic Fiction where it is suggested that if you like Peter James and Stephen Booth then you might also like the Inspector Andy Horton and the Art Marvik Mystery Thrillers.
