Missing book?
We list "Crime in the Skin (2006)" in her other works but I can't find evidence that it exists. There was a book around then called "Cleanskin". Might this be what is meant? Is this its title elsewhere, or something? DBaK (talk) 12:19, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Note: It was contributed on Christmas Day 2012 by a single-visit IP address - I want to AGF but I do wonder if it's a typo, or if they'd had too many pre-lunch sherries ... DBaK (talk) 12:24, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

Val McDermid on Have I Got News For You Said...
Her wikipedia page is full of rubbish. So, work needs to be done about this imo. 78.147.47.240 (talk) 20:51, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Really? She didn't specify what's true and what's not - how would you like to approach this? DBaK (talk) 21:29, 13 April 2018 (UTC)

"crime writer" link incorrect
The link to "crime writer" in the first sentence looks like it was intended to go somewhere else. It is redirecting to a non-fiction topic now. 114.76.17.94 (talk) 10:32, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks, – very true! I have relinked it to Crime fiction, which makes better sense. Whether the eventual destination of the current redirect crime writer is a good idea or not is a different question, but doesn't really affect this! Best wishes DBaK (talk) 19:07, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

New Novel
Title: 1979. Published last week, said to be the first in a new series. Anyone on a Proper Computer feel like adding it? Mr Larrington (talk) 19:38, 23 August 2021 (UTC)

Member of Scotland team on Round Britain Quiz
Given her appearance on Eggheads has already been cited here, worth expanding on her quizzing credentials through her regular appearances for Scotland on BBC Radio 4's Round Britain Quiz. Culloty82 (talk) 16:13, 18 September 2022 (UTC) Culloty82 (talk) 16:13, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
