Mills & Boon turns to crime

Mills & Boon is launching a crime and thriller series. Called Black Star Crime, the series will span everything from cosy crime to chilling thrillers, and five titles will be published every two months.

Mills & Boon is going to apply the principle of consistency that has served them so well in the romance market. Oliver Rhodes, marketing manager, explains: "The idea is that if people find something they like they can go back and find something similar. It is a brand promise.”
