Last night I watched the ITV3 Thriller Awards ceremony. I was delighted to see the cast of the Danish detective series "The Killing" there and even more delighted when the actress playing the mother got the award for best supporting actress, the female detective was awarded the best actress and the series was the most popular with the viewers. They had to beat some pretty strong contenders so well done them! The famous jumper was also on view!
It was interesting to see the different authors. Most looked very ordinary middle-aged men. Not at all the sort who could dream up all those horrors. I suppose the fascination we have with thrillers and crime novels is trying to work out whodunit before the denoument at the end. I love the way Poirot assembles all the suspects, looks at each one in turn and then swivels round and pounces on the least likely one. (I do sometimes watch more highbrow programmes.)
But there's nothing like a good murder to take one's mind off the horrors of diminishing returns from one's savings.
