The Murder Wall began life as a pilot episode of a crime series for TV following a pitch to a drama development scheme. John Yorke, then controller of BBC drama, travelled north to interview shortlisted writers. He liked the sound of Kate – wasn't put off at all by the fact that she was gay – but told me she had to be as distinct a character as Lynda La Plante's lead detective, Jane Tennison.

But I’m proud I did. Kim Wall was a Swedish journalist and her murder, onboard a submarine in Denmark in 2017, led to a media circus. The Danish press seized on it: there was an obsession with the darkness of what happened, with so many theories flying around. Much of the focus was on the perpetrator.

I liked the setting, the characters and the honest, clear descriptions and overwhelming sense of foreboding. Mari Hannah is a fine new author and a welcome addition to this genre.

The Murder Wall chronicles six different attempts to climb the North Face of The Eiger, one of mountaineering’s most difficult challenges. The suspects include the victim's ex-wife, his current wife, and maybe even his two sons. He wasn't a very likeable guy. The evidence though begins to point to one person specifically. This makes Kate very uneasy. She can't bring herself to believe this person capable of the crime. Her view may be a bit skewed because of her prior knowledge causing her to approach this case in a way she wouldn't otherwise.The Murder Wall by Mari Hannah is a debut police procedural set in the North East of England. The book opens with the double murder in a church of a young woman and a priest, and the arrival of Detective Chief Inspector Kate Daniels. The narrative then forwards eleven months and we see Kate in her role as a member of Newcastle’s Murder Investigation Team (MIT) where the double killing remains unsolved to the frustration of all involved. A new death, the murder of Alan Stephens, gives Kate the chance to shine as she is appointed senior investigating officer for the first time. However it becomes apparent that Kate recognises the victim, for reasons that are only gradually revealed, and her decision not to disclose this fact puts her reputation on the line. It soon becomes apparent that there is a serial killer stalking victims beyond the North-East of England and as the team struggle to find a connection they have to look beyond their immediate pool of suspects.

A man has been jailed for life after luring his victim to a flat and murdering him in a "horrific" self-proclaimed "ISIS killing". You will want to include important facts, clues and info on each victim, suspect and witness. On the killer’s paper, I often find it helpful to have a picture of a silhouette, rather than the killer’s appearance. It helps me to create the ‘mystery of not knowing’. Then once I’ve reached the last few chapters, I may change this. This also acts as a ‘non-spoiler’ in case someone walks into your office and sees your Murder Wall. Victims: Peter Moulson KC, prosecuting, told the court: "It is the Crown's case Mr Wall fought to stop the robbery on him and fought for his life." It was very early on in The Murder Wall when I knew Mari Hannah was going to be an author that writes the kind of gritty and dark crime fiction that I just love to read, and I really think this is a series that I will enjoy a lot. The Murder Wall is a solid police procedural, with just the right amount of detail about police work and policies, some authors have a tendency to go into too much detail and the story itself did keep me guessing for the most part because of a good mix of suspects, and it excited me enough that I wanted to read on.The BBC’s latest drama is based on the true story of the murder of journalist Kim Wall. Kim Wall was murdered after she boarded a homemade submarine in Copenhagen. She was interviewing its creator, Peter Madsen, when he brutally dismembered Kim’s body and threw it out to sea. Madsen told the Danish courts it was an accident, but later admitted to murdering Kim in secret recordings when he was in prison. The Investigation on BBC retells this story. On Thursday 10 August 2017, Wall and her partner Ole Stobbe were preparing to host a farewell party in Refshaleøen prior to their planned move to Beijing on 16 August. [6] [7] [8] Before the party, Wall received a text from Danish entrepreneur Peter Madsen—with whom she had requested an interview earlier in the year—inviting her to interview him on board his midget submarine UC3 Nautilus. She agreed to join him on the submarine for two hours and boarded Nautilus around 19:00 local time ( UTC+2). [6] [9] The submarine never returned to the harbour and Stobbe called the police at 01:43 that night to report Wall missing. [6] Nautilus was sighted in Køge Bay southeast of Amager by Drogden lighthouse at 10:30 the next morning; it foundered at 11:00. [9] Ramsdale then put pavements slabs on top of Mr Wall's body, jumped on it and tried to set it alight. Mother publishes book on murdered Swedish journalist Kim Wall". 11 November 2018.
