No Good Deed

I love cozy mysteries, and I decided to venture into the genre myself. Knowing little about the art of forensics, I questioned members of law enforcement and friends who had retired from the local crime unit. I also did a fair amount of research on the handling of major crimes in small communities. Another interest of mine is genealogy, and a bit of that is intertwined in the story when the main character researches the mysteries of her father’s family. Studying the geographic makeup of the frequently visited mountains and national parks near my home helped me plot the background for the search and rescue efforts in the story.
