Tom Craig to co-star in new 4 Part BBC Drama

Hey all

Tom Craig is to co-star in a new 4 part drama for the BBC, called Undisclosed. Tom will star with Phillip Glenister, David Suchet and Thekla Reuten in the thriller that revolves around the efforts of Harry Venn (Glenister), a small-time solicitor who is forced to delve into his murky past. 

Its nice to see Tom being credited with Murdoch Mysteries, instead of the usual Where the Heart Is and Coronation Street, for which he is usually known for in the UK.

Filming begins next week in Belfast.

For the full press release, see the link below.

RIP Ruth Cavin of St Martins Press

Maureen and her husband Iden Ford today learnt that her first editor, Ruth Cavin, passed away this past January. Ruth was willing to take a chance on publishing a mystery series set in Toronto 1895. We all know how the books and tv series have grown into an international success story.

The link to her obituary is here and details her history in the publishing industry that she remained a big part of until her sad death at the age of 92.

Our best wishes to Maureen, Iden and Ms Cavin's family at this sad time.
