Peter Guttridge
As the Observer crime fiction critic for 12 years, Peter has read far more crime fiction than is healthy for anyone. Now, his mind suitably warped, he writes it – latest novel, Swimming With The Dead – but, more importantly, hosts numerous events around the country’s book festivals (including Oxford’s), interviewing fiction and non-fiction writers.
