Cactus TV, the company behind the Richard and Judy Book Club, have announced the Crime Thriller Awards to be shown on ITV3 this autumn. The awards will not just go to the best of British and International crime thriller novels, but also to the greatest crime and thriller films and TV dramas of the year.

What I am looking forward to though is in the six weeks leading up to the awards there will be documentaries on six of the best crime writers working today. Colin Dexter, Ian Rankin, PD James, Lynda La Plante, Val McDermid and Ruth Rendall will all be describing their writing methods, how they create the mysteries, what makes them tick and the lifestyles their writing has brought them.
