A special thank-you to Bella Books, my publisher, for bringing me into their family of talented authors and believing in my story.
To my brilliant editor, Cath Walker, I so enjoyed working with you and learned so much from your guidance. Thank you for bringing out the best in me.
To my beta readers, especially Sharon, my bibliophile mom, thank you for your thoughtful and perceptive feedback on my writing.
And to Theresa, my wife, Hayden and Hadley, our daughters, thank you for your constant support and love and for talking endless hours about murder mysteries with me.
