Crime author on location research in London

While I was in London recently attending the London Book Fair I popped along to New Scotland Yard to do a bit of research for a crime novel I'm working on, not a DI Andy Horton novel, although there is no reason why he shouldn't visit New Scotland Yard,  but a new series with a new character which I am hoping will develop into a three part crime series (at least) but who knows it's early days yet.



I'm always on the look out for locations to use in my crime novels which are set around the South Coast of England in the Solent area, Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. In Cold Daylight one of my thrillers is partly set in London and In For The Kill another thriller is set in the Solent but also in Guernsey.

 The new crime novel I am working on opens in London and is also set in Guernsey further than that I haven't got yet except to say I did a lot of character development on the train on the way home from the London Book Fair last Monday.

Meanwhile I am, of course, writing  DI Andy Horton mystery crime novel number eleven.

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.
