Matt McAvoy Book Review
As far as holistic or comprehensive books on fundamental being go, this is about as broad as it gets. All credit to G.E. Poole; he has covered the foundations of life and death from every possible angle, including the chemical, scientific and natural. But, of course, you get the impression that at its heart this is really a profound and powerful interpretation of the religious. The author is as objective as you can get, but you can clearly see his unwavering faith in God and religion as the foundation of The Source; all other approaches in this book, though explored in admirable depth, appear to be supporting or are themselves based on the truth that is Scripture.
If I’m truly honest, I personally struggled a fair bit with this book.

Author Interview: Martin Edwards
Last week, the British Library re-published the first of the Sergeant Cluff novels from Gil North, Sergeant Cluff Stands Firm, with the second, The Methods of Sergeant Cluff, due in early September. One of the prime movers behind the re-release of the Cluff books (and indeed, a large part of the British Library’s output) is Martin Edwards. As you know, Martin is a busy man – along with having written a bucket-load of his own mysteries, both short stories and novels, he’s also the author behind the multi-award winning The Golden Age Of Murder, the history of the Detection Club, and also currently serves as the President of that Club. He’s also an inverterate blogger as well, over at Do You Write Under Your Own Name?
I’ve had the privilege of meeting Martin a few times at various events, and he’s always had a kind word for the blog, so it’s a real pleasure to have been able to do a brief Q & A with him about Cluff, the British Library and other things.
