Goodreads asked Ian Shimwell:

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

Ian Shimwell A situation at work occurred when person and persons unknown rearranged a colleagues particulars on her desk, probably as some sort of joke. However the reaction of the 'victim' was one of great upset and not funny at all. I thought about using this as starter for one of my 'Armchair Detectives' but have since dismissed the idea because the overall narrative process of 'The Armchair Detective' now points away from the more random mysteries to a structured approach.
