CSI Portsmouth - Photographs from the panel debate with crime authors and crime experts

The panel debate - crime fiction versus crime fact - at CSI Portsmouth 2011on Saturday 5 November at the John Pounds Centre, Portsmouth, England, with best selling crime authors and experts was enjoyed by over a hundred people and was highly entertaining and very informative.  The feedback from the audience was fantastic. I enjoyed it tremendously and I am delighted to say so too did those who attended and the panel guests. Here are some photogrpahs from the event.

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.
