Crime books
“Crime books easier to write than ’serious’ novels? That attitude is, frankly, cobblers”.
God, I love the word ‘cobblers’ - I also love the word ‘bobbins’, another very effective word for describing anything that’s rubbish…. like Dan Brown books for instance.
(In case you didn’t know, cobblers is Cockney rhyming slang for cobbler’s awls - the sharp hand-tools used to make holes in leather - and awls rhymes with balls.)
