Goodreads asked Paul Austin Ardoin:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Paul Austin Ardoin My wife was taking classes in biology and physiology, and we started looking at all the different careers available. It turns out that county coroners have a crazy amount of expectations and requirements—or lack thereof. An idea to tell a murder mystery, featuring a young nurse-turned-coroner named Fenway was hatched. I had her first name, I knew her estranged father would be rich, and I knew who the murderer was. That was it!
