Goodreads asked Chris Trites:

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

Chris Trites My most recent (published) book, Accidental Death was inspired by the staircase you see in the cover picture. Our last house was built in 1882 and the staircase was very high and from what I was told against modern building codes for safety. At the bottom of those stairs was a round indent in the floorboards. I always wondered if someone had fallen down those stairs in the past or what if they did today? The basic idea sprang from there and I added the detective story around it based on my experience over the years investigating similar incidents.
