When creating a protagonist for a mystery series, you want a character whopossesses a purpose, someone who stands out among the multitude of detectivessnooping, deducing, and sniffing out crime. Give your sleuth quirky and endearingqualities, strengths and weaknesses—make her likable, yet irritating, ideal,yet flawed. In other words, create a protagonist who is unforgettable. Mysterywriter Martha Grimes has created such a character. Can you identify this amateursleuth? She lives in a hotel, works part time as a waitress and moonlights as acub reporter for the local newspaper. Her fascination with the death of a younggirl sends her to another hotel, another town, and another time where mysteries, new and old, unfold faster than her taxi driver can deliver her to the scenes.
