Mary Joy wrote a letter to me that included the following:

“For me the sleuth is always a woman and she lives in very comfortable, if sometimes eccentric surroundings. She can live alone or with or without any combination of boyfriend, husband  and children. As soon as she gets home, she tries, not always successfully, to head for a nice bath or shower followed by a favorite meal or drink – the way we wish life could always be.

One of the authors she follows is Donna Huston Murray. She would like some ideas of:
