If you are stuck for ideas for a Crime Story / Novel, then you can do no worse than get a copy of Douglas Wynn's The Crime Writer's Handbook (65 ways to kill your victim....in print). Just flicking through gave me some ideas for both means of murder and also motivation and means of detection. I see that Douglas has also written The Crime Writer's Sourcebook which Amazon says is A reference book which examines a number of real-life crimes in order to provide ideas and inspiration for those wishing to write crime or criminology books.
Anyway, there is my recommendation of the day, and Thanks to Bryan for lending me his copy. I am off to buy my own one so I can scribble all over it and fold the corners down.......
