Guttridge, Peter: - Award-winning comic crime author Peter Guttridge turned from the Daft Side to the Dark Side for his Brighton mystery series, which started with the City of Dreadful Night and with the last in the series being 2014's Those Who Feel Nothing. He was also the Observer's crime fiction critic for twelve years, meaning he's read far more crime fiction than is good for him.
