Crime Fiction Lover was set up by two journalists who love reading crime stories – everything from atmospheric noir to thriller mysteries and police procedurals. The rise of Kindle, eBooks and iBooks interests us a great deal. We hope to discover and share some of the best reads on these new formats, but by no means will we overlook traditional print. There’s nothing like the feel and smell of a freshly printed book.

Neither of us is an aspiring novelist but we are experienced short form writers. Having worked in magazine and online publishing we’re used to having our work critiqued by editors, publishers and readers, so whether you find our writing trite, woolly or just right, feel free to let us know what you think. Our aim is to bring you helpful and concise content with each story we upload.

Since setting up, we’ve been joined by a team of like-minded fans of the genre, who are making fantastic contributions to the website.
