Killer Reads

HarperCollins has joined the lineup of publishers offering crime fiction web sites to promote the genre and their authors' works. Their Killer Reads site was officially launched this week, with an extract of Jillianne Hoffman's new novel, Pretty Little Things. The site will also feature blogs, a newsletter, and the occasional article, such as a current one about Ngaio Marsh. Publishing brand manager Kate Bradley said "The site is going to be really dynamic and the content will be updated and refreshed constantly. We are passionate about our crime authors and we want to share that passion with the online community." (Hat tip to the Bookseller.)

HarperCollins joins other publishers with crime fiction sites, including Blood on the Page, the suspense book club from Random House which features a different author blogging each week, and Moments in Crime from Minotaur Books, which has evolved from a blog into a Twitter feed, although Minotaur does have a general companion book site.
