Thanks to Carolyn Haley for her response to my recent post about reading mysteries. And she knows whereof she speaks: our DreamTime author had a terrific interview with mystery author Archie Mayor published in a recent issue of Writer magazine.

And I agree that people “shouldn’t” be judgmental of others—that is, after all, part of the whole essence of DreamTime. Part of personal growth is letting go of judging others. That said, however, the literary world is full of literary snobs who will attack anyone who doesn’t consider War and Peace a cozy read for a winter’s evening.

But it’s not winter now, and I’ve been delighted every time I cycle down to one of the numerous beaches around here to see numerous mystery novels on beach towels and peeking out of beach bags. Not a bad way to pass a summer’s afternoon, working on a devious puzzle in one’s head while paddling in the gorgeous water of Cape Cod Bay!

So for now Murder, She Wrote is just fine with me!
