CSI Basingstoke - crime fiction versus crime fact - a great success
CSI Basingstoke, where crime fiction meets crime fact, held on Saturday 6 July at the Basingstoke Discovery Centre in Hampshire, England, was a great success.
The event was modelled on the highly successful CSI Portsmouth, which I first organised in 2010. This year will be the fourth year of CSI Portsmouth, a one day event bringing crime authors and experts together for lively panel discussions on Saturday 2 November at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.

The Hayling Island Bookshop provided a mobile book shop. Jane Aston was joined by her colleague, Heather Foster, and offered to take the delegates fingerprint and to press it into a keep sake keying to take away - a very popular attraction.
