Goodreads asked Kathleen Buckley:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Kathleen Buckley Perhaps not so much a plot as a precipitating incident. Years ago after an alumni party held at a private home, the host (who was my employer) discovered that someone had left a mink stole. No one called to say they'd forgotten it, so he mailed out letters to the attendees asking if they'd forgotten a wrap. Again, no one responded. That seemed peculiar to me, and I thought it might be a good beginning for a mystery story.
