Minette teaches crime writing masterclass at London Book Fair

As part of the London Book Fair held in March, English PEN and the Daily Mail sponsored another in their series of successful masterclasses. Minette, along with fellow crime writer Mark Billingham (right) and chair Peter Guttridge (centre), taught the class to an audience of eager and talented "about-to-be" writers.

One of Minette's fans and a writer himself, Keith Walters (not a relation!) attended the class and kindly sent us an excellent review of the day's events.

Get Writing, BBCi's extensive online resource for writers, has a series of video clips from the masterclass, as well as an edited transcript of the discussion:
