Is Murder the Only Crime? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I read a lot of silly escapist books: Magical Realism, RomCom, Cosy Crime and of course, Naturist Fiction I have written a couple of crimes into my stories, but I have never found it necessary to murder anyone.If you think about theft, mugging, vandalism, fraud and the rest, murder is a comparatively rare crime, even in big cities.So why are there so many murders in quaint seaside towns?
