I'm still going on first dates so I have lots of material if you run out, Cate. I haven't experienced any olive incidents but since I talk with my hands, I've learned to only drink white wine or there won't be a second date. The book sounds great. Can't wait to read it.
Hi Lois. This is a great post because I've been analyzing the topic of romance and whether it can be successfully included in a traditional mystery. I admit I personally prefer a book where all three components are there: an intriguing plot, some romantic sparks, and a nice dose of humor. Who doesn't like the on and off again relationship between Stephanie Plum and Joe Morelli?
By the way, I'm halfway through "Assault with a Deadly Glue Gun." What great fun. Thanks for creating Anastasia and her wonderful family.
