THE SUNDAY TIMES CRIME CLUB ALERT

 I copied this one and The Christie Alert will go onto our bool list. It just appeals.

It was great to see Ian Rankin and Mark Billingham receive awards for their outstanding contributions to crime fiction at the Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival in Harrogate at the weekend. Before the festival was even over Mantle announced the acquisition of The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont. The novel, narrated by the mistress of Agatha's husband, reimagines the events of 1926 in which the famous author disappeared only to be found, 11 days later, at the Swan hotel in Harrogate. It will not be published until January. And if you think that's jumping the gun, I received a proof copy of Stuart Neville's The House of Ashes from Zaffre this week. Publication is scheduled for February 10.
