Crime Thriller Awards

[quizzywig]

Watched this on ITV 3 last night and enjoyed it very much except for the presenter Marcus Brigstock - he shouldn't do presenting, he's not very good at it. The show was very good. Nice to see the gorgeous Idris Elba! and also Jason Isaacs although he wasn't actually there but in US and we saw him on film. And there was a quick clip of Spiral - the french series -and not the one that's recently been on so I'm hoping that comes to BBC soon. Also Jason Isaccs hinted that there would be more Case Histories next year, I do hope so. He is very attractive as Jackson Brody. Mmmmm

I agree, Brigstock was rubbish and he thought he was funny.

I've just finished Dead Man's Grip.............was quite good but not exceptional.

I've just got The Affair :) Whoopeeee.
I was a bit miffed that Lee Child didn't walk away with the Gold Dagger .
That book that won it Crooked Letter was awful .

thanks shaneystar2, I was hoping Lee Child would have won it, great books, great Jack Reacher character. Looking forward to reading The Affair, will try and get in on readitswapit. Nice that Idris Elba won best actor very watchable!

Yes ,he's absolutely lovely isn't he angie .Swoon :)
I watched him in The Wire .Brilliant .
Love the Lee Child books .He was very good at the awards and said that although books can written by great authors it's the great readers who make a bestseller ....or something like that :)
They've cast Tom Cruise for the film version Of Jack Reacher ..but he's not my idea of Reacher by a long chalk.
