Thank you for your reply Brent. I am at 66% and will be finished soon. It's crazy insane but I am actually really enjoying it very much. I like strong female leads even if they are a little crazy ;) I will just have to hope that Net Galley lets me read part 2 before August. What made you take on this kind of character?

So glad to hear you're enjoying Go Home, Afton. There will be plenty more twists and turns and lots more action before this series is through.
Oh, I don't know if Afton is crazy. I wouldn't use that word. I prefer to think of her as ambitious and disturbed, with a moral compass pointed in a direction slightly different from the rest of us.
I can't say for certain at this point if book two, See You Soon, Afton, will be available via Net Galley. It's possible, but if not, you could always contact me directly and ask really nicely for a review copy. ;-)
To answer your main question here, I allude to some what led me to create Afton in the Acknowledgments. There will be more detail in the Afterword at the end of book four, Time's Up, Afton.
After binge-watching true crime, I wanted to create a character just arrogant enough to think he (or she) could get away with committing a series of perfect murders. The question became, who would be the last person anyone would suspect of such a thing, and what would his or her motivations be for committing such violent acts? I settled on a small-town children's librarian, who uses her thirst for murder as (in her mind) a means to do good in the world.
