Reading British crime fiction

With nearly half of the titles I have read or listened to in 2014 coming from British authors, there can be no doubt that British crime fiction is one of my preferred genres.

I joined the British Books Challenge 2014 hosted by Feeling Fictional. The aim was to read at least 12 books by British authors. This was really not much of a challenge for me as I read so much British crime fiction, so the challenge became really just a way of keeping my records.
