Thanks for including the IWSG’s post this past week.
Enjoy your week off! I enjoyed mine last week. Wrote some and watched a bunch of movies.
Sounds like a great way to rest up! Thanks, Alex. :)
As always, Elizabeth, these are great links – thanks. Glad to see on on the traditional-style mystery. With the announcement of the Agathas at Malice Domestic, it just seems a perfect fit. And, honestly, traditional mysteries are enjoying real popularity.
It’s an interesting interview…and you’re right, good timing with Malice!
