Yesterday I received the press release for the latest short story collection edited by
Martin Edwards, called
M.O. which will be out 1 May:
The second in this series of anthologies from the CWA picks up the primary scent of any investigation: the modus operandi; the signature that identifies any repeat offender, the ‘how’ that supersedes the ‘why’. From the ex-doctor tenderly administering a final prescription to his victims, the party of finishing school debutantes exacting revenge on their lecherous host… these stories demonstrate that, even with the most despicable of crimes, there’s methodology in the madness.
The contributing authors include,
Robert Barnard,
Ann Cleeves,
Kate Ellis,
Liz Evans and
Christine Poulson as well as the
editor himself. I like the sound of this one:
Two creative writing tutors discuss the merits of ‘hardboiled’ versus ‘cosy’ schools of crime writing, while a murderous student points out that it’s really procedure that counts . . .
Read more about the collection and the authors on the
Comma Press website.

Sounds a good one to look for
Yes, it does sound intriguing!
I'm especially excited about this one as I have a (very) short story in it! My first time in a CWA anthology. I'm nervous about the reviews but mostly excited. The book looks great - Comma do a terrific job. I hope you enjoy reading the stories.
