At the start I tried to make her the modern woman of the area. A police sergeant after many years on the beat and a couple of years of undercover operations. She likes the way Freeman talks to her and this gives her the reason to choose the move to Detective Inspector. The more I wrote about her, the more I got more comfortable with how she was going to be in the future. Now into my third book with this character and she has grown quite well, even if still a bit of a mystery to some.
Thank you for the question.

They opened up scope to put confusion into the investigation. Having troubled characters also made it that little bit easier to hide who the culprit was. I suppose the twists came from a natural progression of the story and the area it was based on.
Thank you for the question.(less)

Clinton Dean answered Robert Barrow's question:
Were those small household details planned early or added during the writing process?
Clinton Dean
The small household details are from my own experiences. They were planned.
