So, OK, we all like the idea of going to bed with a good book. But going to bed with its creator????? Well that’s what happened last week in Munich!

I was there as part of their wonderful Krimi Festival, and the organisers, Andy and Sabine decided it would fun to do a rather more – ah – intimate event… a reading in a hotel bedroom. So I found myself in bed with my great friend, the wonderful German actor Hans Juergen Stockerl with whom I do all my readings in Germany – we alternate between chapters in English and German (I read the English ones…!!!) while three consecutive groups of 18 people filled the bedroom.

It was actually huge fun – a rare chance to get so up close and personal with my readers. And yes, of course I had brushed my teeth….!
