While at my favourite beach, I planned a murder mystery night for my fans. It goes like this: participants will read my novel Death at the Bend, stopping at three critical stages to try to identify the murderer. When my readers get to the last page, we will meet so the winners can brag and the losers can make excuses. I chose this book because author and critic Joan Barfoot said my story had a darn good plot. (Photo credit, Janet Koricina.)
