This is more of a praise I really enjoyed the first book in your series, well written and researched and "meatier" than many mysteries I have read lately. Maybe it is that the topic and time are not as familiar to me. It helps that the main character is a woman in academia as that is instantly appealing. How did you choose the topic matter and time period? Thank you and keep writing quality works!

I chose botany because I knew I wanted an Agatha Christie-esque small, close-knit cast of characters, which an environment like a university provided, but that meant that my sleuth needed a discipline to study. I'd always loved gardening and keeping houseplants, and luckily I found (through hours and hours of research) that I love botany, too. The time period was also born out of my love for Christie's Poirot, which takes place in the 20's and 30's. I love the aesthetics of it, but, as I learned more about the time, I realized how juicy the 20's were, beyond what I imagine most people immediately think of: flappers and booze and Bright Young Things. It was a time of tremendous upheavals, loud and quiet, big and small. Science and technology made huge strides during the war, and it wasn't limited to tanks and grenades, and I found that intriguing from a scientist's perspective. I also was drawn to the intricacies of the unintended consequences of the Great War, like shell-shock and injuries and the strange combination of patriotism and hatred for war. The 20's are absolutely fascinating!(less)
