About

Ninety crime writers from the world's oldest and  most famous crime writing network give tips and insights into successful crime and thriller fiction.

Howdunit offers a fresh perspective on crime fiction from its leading exponents, past and present. With many fascinating insights into the ups and downs of the writer's life, it also provides invaluable advice for would-be authors and a better understanding of the genre.

All the contributors are members of the legendary Detection Club, including Len Deighton, Ian Rankin, Val McDermid, Peter James, Ann Cleeves, Peter Robinson, Sophie Hannah, Alexander McCall Smith and many more.

Interwoven with their essays are rare archival extracts by past Detection Club alumni, ranging from founder members Dorothy L. Sayers, G. K. Chesterton and Agatha Christie to later influencers such as Desmond Bagley, P.D. James and John Le Carré. The book is the brainchild of the Club's current president, Martin Edwards.
