#TIL that #ChristopherFowler's fictional detectives Arthur Bryant and John May are named for a 19th century match company based in Bow, London.
This North American imagined one of the detectives was named for a legendary barbecue joint in Kansas City, Missouri.

Anyone else feel sad when you finish a book series, at least what you can find of a book series? #BrientAndMay #ChristopherFowler Bard had a number of these but I think maybe not all of them. The narrator is epic. #NoSpoilers you will cry at the end of the most recent book posted to Bard, London Bridge is falling down.

Finished reading Christopher Fowler’s short fiction collection London’s Glory last week. Lots of short Bryant & May tales. Sort of doesn’t do it for me really, the shorter format, as it rarely seems to give me a satisfying feeling of going along with the investigation. As a result, I’ve bought the next four full-length novels in the series to get lined up.

I’m really sad about the passing of #ChristopherFowler but glad that I told him more than once how much I enjoyed his books. Seek out your favorite authors while they are still around and let them know they entertained you or changed your mind about something or whatever. It means a lot to them. Also, if you like mysteries that are a bit peculiar and the city of London, the Bryant and May series is stellar. #bookstodon
