I think I need to own up to more than a bit of a fangirl fascination with David Nolan (not in a crazy, stalker-ish way, you understand!). Once I'd stayed up reading Black Moss (in one sitting - it's really that good), I wanted to find out a bit more about who wrote it. I... Continue Reading →

But here, you find out who the killer is really early on, and... Continue Reading →
