I thought it especially interesting as it was written with a crime novelist's eye, giving the story a tension and the action a continual forward thrust that, say, an historical novelist might not have used. At least not as effectively.
Yes, she was an absolutely brilliant choice to tackle this particular story. I also had never read her before and ordered a couple on the back of it. Of course, I haven't had a chance to read them yet, but I will!
Her conversation at the Edinburgh Int'l Book Festival was so much fun to watch! I've been a fan for a long time, but hearing her live (streaming) confirmed all good things I had assumed about her and makes me think so well of her personally.
Oh, that's so cool! I'll have to try track it down. I am slightly embarrassed to admit that I'd not read anything by her before but I'm definitely going to order some of her books based on the absolute brilliance of this.
I'm definitely going to reread them as a set when the Warner comes out. As for Novella November, I'm hoping to finish writing mine now that every month is all about novellas for me.
