Harrogate Crime Writing Festival - Telegraph
What better way to start my trip to this year's Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival than a chat with the grande dame of the genre, PD James? Particularly as the festival's bucolic Harrogate setting seems to have put her in a murderous mood. "This would be a wonderful setting for a murder," she enthuses as we admire the hotel gardens. "The contrast between the beauty, the peace, the tranquillity and the appalling crime, that would be very effective."

Paul Marcus
Paul Marcus produced three series of the Granada Television police drama Prime Suspect (1991 - 2006), winning an Emmy award for one of them. The programmes centred on Helen Mirren’s portrayal of Detective Chief Inspector Jane Tennison. As the series progresses, Tennison has difficulties balancing her work with her private life, has an abortion, starts to rely on alcohol and finally becomes addicted to it. At the time Prime Suspect began, there were only four female DCIs working in Britain.

Simon Brett on Whodunnits
Simon Brett says that in the golden age of mysteries, Hercule Poirot would get them all in the library and point at one person and say ‘For zees reazons you deed it…’ and they’d go off and be hanged. But now, without the death penalty, the ramifications of crime and punishment are gone into far more.
