A promise

Posted by Simon on 9th, April 2010 at 08:39:44

A lovely question came through this week, from a lady who's reading The Death Pictures.

I won't tell you her name, but it went along the lines of - is it actually possible to solve the riddle from the clues in the book?

I've answered the email, but wanted to mention it on the blog because it's a point of great importance to me.  The answer is a resounding YES!

I don't want to sound like a politician, but I do promise you this.  In each and every one of my books, there will always be the clues which enable you to solve whatever crime or riddle I happen to drop in.  There'll be plenty of chaff and red herrings too, to distract you, but the important bits will be there.

It's important to me because far too often I've been really into a book, am happily reading away, then get to the denouement, and the killer is someone who appears for a couple of lines, way back, then entirely disappears again.  That's cheating!  So - I won't be doing that to you.  Call it value for money, or professional pride, or whatever, but the clues will be there.

If you want to get in touch with a question about the tvdetective series, you can do so via the contacts page of the site - www.thetvdetective.com/contact.html  and I'll do my best to answer.

Look forward to hearing from you.
