Britains Love for the Murder Mystery

Is the murder mystery story the favourite genre for Britain's readers? Without it, where would we be without the enigma of Sherlock Holmes and his faithful sidekick Watson? Agatha Christies famous characters, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, would never have graced the pages of tens of millions of books, and the various TV series and movies portraying clever detectives and their mind-boggling skills that always unearth the killer.

And weve all joined in in the creation of the mystery in playing Cluedo, the famed board game of murder and mayhem in a country house.To celebrate the board games 60th anniversary, Barry Forshaw from the Crime Writers Association recounts the evolution of the murder mystery and gives some great tips on how to write your own.
