You've found Christopher Fowler, #crimewriter - British novelist, author of the Bryant & May mysteries, thrillers and non-fiction (now managed by Pete)
Oh ! That sounds so wonderful ! Wish I could join you.
Side note: I learned a lot of obscure London history from reading the Bryant & May mysteries by the late author Christopher Fowler ( @peculiar ) who made London an integral part of his story telling.
Going through some old portraits and came across this one, of many, of @Peculiar, hadn’t done his portrait in quite a few years before his passing, he was a joy both to work with and be with, missed I’m sure by all who knew him
This week and every week - but especially this week - I wholeheartedly recommend you curl up with a copy of this glorious, riotous, fantastic and fantastical book, @peculiar’s final novel, #TheFootOnTheCrown.
‘Gormenghast’ with lots of laughs; myths and lies and London!
As someone who walked the streets of London with the late Christopher Fowler, there was never any doubt that he was an inveterate lover of the city throughout the ages, as The Foot on the Crown shows - and there is more posthumous work to come.

I was reminded today that @peculiars dedication is for all of you: his readers, his fans, bloggers, interviewers, film colleagues, fellow authors, friends, family and the generally creatively wonderful misfits who inspired him… ❤️
Thanks @Joannechocolat .You’ve been a tremendous support to one another over the years, both professionally and as mates. Looking forward to reading #Vianne in a few weeks time!
Raising a glass tonight to my old friend Chris Fowler, whose last, weirdest and most disturbingly funny book, THE FOOT ON THE CROWN, launches today. @Peculiar, you did it again…
We couldn't be prouder to announce publication day for Chris Fowler's #TheFootOnTheCrown. Chris's unmistakeable style and imagination live on in his extraordinary final novel.

ALT New year, new look.... There's a completely new website launched for @Peculiar's work. Please take a look when you have a few minutes to spare. There's a lot in there to explore: a suggested B&M reading order, interviews, an archive of all his blogs and more!

Woke up to see this. Chris would have been so chuffed and quietly proud. Thanks @JamieCAuthor for including @Peculiar and #WordMonkey in this wonderful list. Best Christmas present ever!
