Recent Online Visits
I recently visited online mystery groups to talk about my latest book, A Parfait Crime, which revolves around an amateur production of an Agatha Christie play. Below are links to posts I wrote about Agatha Christie and my book.
At Jungle Red Writers I discussed the house plans and murder scene diagrams that Agatha Christie includes in her books and that many writers create for themselves while plotting a mystery.
At Chicks on the Case I described how my book's title shaped it plot.
In my Crimereads article on Agatha Christie, I explain why her record-breaking play, The Mousetrap, is still going strong after seven decades and 28,000 performances.
