news Following on from a fantastic Theakston's Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in July, I went to St Hilda's College in Oxford for the annual Crime & Mystery weekend in August. Under the smooth and intelligent chairmanship of Andrew Taylor a group of us gave papers on various crime-writing topics under the general theme of 'Behind the Mask' and a very jolly time was had by all.
In the UK, Marcel Berlins has given the sequel, Lifeblood, a stunning review in The Times, and I am revelling in all your letter and emails. Thank you all for taking the trouble to get in touch. In NO ESCAPE, Karen got to grips with DSPD, the most dangerous and intractable mental disorder that exists. She became involved with a convicted killer called Spike Falconer and was pretty soon in danger herself.
