described as
straightforward
and
unpretentious".
A close friend
writes that
"she's not this
person who
speaks above

"perhaps the
most driven
person, the most
goal-orientated
person, when it
came to her
novel, that I
have ever met."
When asked why
she chose to
write a mystery
she replies, "I
love the
circuitous
routes a
character has to
take to find the
truth, and
surprise
endings."
