For me. A book usually starts with an idea, a character, a line of dialog. I always love the idea for a new story or another in the Crime of Fashion Mysteries but the execution is difficult. Writing is a balancing act, juggling characters, plot lines, and clues. And it’s always easier to write in my mind than at my desk.
Set in 1950, Puzzles Can Be Deadly is a fun cozy mystery perfect for a summer beach read. The main characters, Skip Valentine and Henry Finch, are a couple at a time when such couples had to keep their relationships secret, and Skip has a passion for solving puzzles.
Are you the type of person who likes to dive into a mystery where you cannot figure out who the killer is before the reveal? This book definitely will keep you guessing.
