CRIME SCRAPS: NOVEMBER QUIRKY QUIZ

Thursday, November 15, 2007

Well Martin Beck defeated you so I have picked a very well known crime fiction author, and posted a couple of photographs taken in his home town.

Whose the author?

The answer will be posted on Friday 30 November if no one gets the correct answer before that.

So I give up -- sorry, I am not very good at towns or locations, or pictures generally. In fact, I am prett hopeless altogether on quizzes. Sorry to fail so miserably.; 9:57 AM

I have to admit that if I had not taken the photos I would never get the answer.; 11:10 AM

It is not Italy, and it is not Sweden. Which should help you a lot.
The author is very well known, as is the detective.; 1:20 PM

Yes it is a photo of Galway featuring the cathedral. The wet pavements and the rain must have given you the clue.
Galway, Ken Bruen and Jack Taylor.; 8:30 AM
