If you’ve got a cozy mystery, and a dog is introduced, readers’ first question is, ‘Does the dog die?’ They never ask about a …
“Snowmen fall from heaven… unassembled.” – Unknown Here in my part of the world we’ve had snow this week with a half inch of ice on top of those six inches and then about two or three inches on top of that!
