Mystery Book with Antique Shop, Scrap of Paper, Harpsichord, and Secret Room…

July 14, 2011

Lila posted a comment asking the following:

“Forgive me if this is not a place to ask, but I have been trying to find the title and author of an audiobook I heard about 10 years ago. The best summary I can give of the plot follows. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you:

A young woman finds a scrap of paper in a small, old harpsichord (clavichord or similar?) from an antique shop she is running (purchased or just minding – not sure). The scrap may also be quite old, but the words on the paper cause her to think someone may be currently in trouble and she feels compelled to investigate. She eventually makes her way to a manse (possibly in New England – again not sure) and there finds a hidden room and danger (of course).”

If you think you might have a clue for Lila as to whom the author could be, please post a comment. (I will be so embarrassed if this is an author I read!)

Unnamed Female Sleuth…

June 23, 2011

Several days ago, Rabia asked us to help come up with a female sleuth’s name for a mystery novel. Here is the message:

I know this is unrelated but I need help with writing the novel I’m working on. I was trying to come up with a name for my female protagonist and wanted to come up with a name that hasn’t really been used in the cozy mystery genre or a name that isn’t that frequent like Charlotte or Kate. This was on my mind and I was wondering if you could help me. Thank you very much.

Kathryn responded with this really good suggestion:

I like the name Jacqueline. Pronounced jacque-lean. You can shorten it to a variation of Jackie for a nickname.

Can any of you Cozy Mystery readers think of some other really good names Rabia might be able to use in her Cozy Mystery?

Thank you!

English Mystery Series – Unlikeable Boss – Cat – Beautiful Administrative Assistant…

June 21, 2011

I received this from Chris, asking for our help in identifying an author:

I stumbled across your site today searching for a series that I cannot remember – either the author or any titles… I was wondering if you could assist on the search for the series I originally wanted.  It is set in England, the principals are police. The sgt is always worried about being ill, no one likes the boss, there is a cat which drives the boss crazy, a beautiful admin assistant and of course the Inspector(not sure of the title)…

Please post a comment if you believe you can help Chris to find the “missing” author.

Thank you!
