This article relates to This Dame For Hire
Sandra
Scoppettone is the author of at
least 20 novels, including 5 for
young adults, the remainder
being crime novels for adults.
She lives on the North Fork of
Long Island. Too Darn Hot, a
follow up to This Dame For Hire,
was published in hardcover last
week. She
keeps an active blog at
Blogspot.
It's ironic that the reviewer
for Booklist should comment that
"many readers will finger the
culprit before Faye does"
because Scoppettone herself
doesn't know who "the perp" will
be when she starts each book.
As she explains in her lengthy
interview at BookBrowse "I
always have the victim and the
location [but] I never know who
did it. Sometimes along the way
I decide who it is, and
sometimes I'm wrong!"

This "beyond the book article" relates to This Dame For Hire. It originally ran in August 2005 and has been updated for the
