I have been away for a few days and after I finished packing my bag, I downloaded four novels from the speakers’ recommended lists: The May Week Murders by Douglas Brown, Death’s Bright Dart by V C Clinton-Baddeley, The Case With Nine Solutions by J J Connington and Inspector French and the Starvel Tragedy by Freeman Wills Crofts. 

I think it is just marvellous that I can buy these books in seconds and pack them for holiday reading without taking up any space in my bag. 

It is also fantastic to see so much Golden Age detective fiction available again through e-publication after years of obscurity and being out of print. 

Looking forward to discussing these and other related topics at the British Library on Saturday.
