Ideal for cozy mystery fans, especially readers who love clean, twisty and funny cozy mysteries that include tea, pets, baking, small towns and quirky side characters.
Charlie's very first case!
Normally Darla, the ghost that haunts the Redemption Inn, behaves herself. Relatively speaking.
Nancy, the owner of the Redemption Inn, swears that Darla is harmless. At least, mostly harmless. Maybe she plays a few pranks on some unsuspecting guests, but it's all in good fun.
Until one of the hotel guests is found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and Darla is the one who's blamed.
With the threat of guests cancelling and her business on the line, Nancy turns to Charlie to help find the real culprit so Darla can rest in peace.
Meet Charlie. Better known as "Aunt Charlie" from the award-winning Secrets of Redemption series. She's back, making teas and solving cases in this funny, twisty, cozy mystery series set in the 1990s in Redemption, Wisconsin.
About Michele Pariza Wacek
A USA Today Bestselling, award-winning author, Michele taught herself to read at 3 years old because she wanted to write stories so badly. It took some time (and some detours) but now she does spend much of her time writing stories. Mystery stories, to be exact. They're clean and twisty, and range from psychological thrillers to cozies, with a dash of romance and supernatural thrown into the mix. If that wasn't enough, she posts lots of fun things on her blog, including short stories, puzzles, recipes and more, at MPWNovels.com.
Michele grew up in Wisconsin, (hence why all her books take place there), and still visits regularly, but she herself escaped the cold and now lives in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona with her husband and southern squirrel hunter Cassie.
When she's not writing, she's usually reading, hanging out with her dog, or watching the Food Network and imagining she's an awesome cook. (Spoiler alert, she's not. Luckily for the whole family, Mr. PW is in charge of the cooking.)
Interview
Where are you from?
I grew up in Madison, Wisconsin, and now I live in the mountains of Arizona.
Tell us your latest news?
I’m excited about the release of A Room For Murder, which is not only a Charlie Kingsley Mystery but Charlie’s first case. It’s a story I’ve been wanting to tell for awhile now.
When and why did you begin writing?
I taught myself to read when I was three years old because I wanted to write stories so badly, and I haven’t looked back since.
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
Probably as soon as I taught myself to read. I was a pretty precocious kid.
What inspired you to write your first book?
I was sixteen and I wanted to prove to myself I could write a book. This was a long time ago (I’m old), so I didn’t write it on a computer but on a word processor machine. (These were a thing a long time ago, they looked like typewriters but they had these little cassettes so you could save your work.) I’m not sure how many words it was, the program wasn’t that sophisticated, plus I didn’t think of word counts as I do now, but I do remember it was roughly 150 pages when I printed it out. I have absolutely no idea where it is now—it’s been lost to the sands of time, and that’s probably a good thing.
Do you have a specific writing style?
Hmm…the word that comes to mind is casual and easy to read. I want readers to be able to focus on the story and see those pictures in their head more than focus on how I write.
How did you come up with the title?
All of the Charlie Kinsley titles are a play on “murder.” For this one, I wanted to bring in the hotel aspect, so instead of saying “I’d like a room for one,” it’s A Room for Murder.
Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?
All my books and writing seem to include the theme that nothing is as it seems. It’s more clear in the psych thrillers, but it also shows up in my cozies as well. Everyone has at least two sides, and typically you only see one of them, but if you want to uncover the truth, you need to find both.
What would you like my readers to know?
Thank you so much for having me on your blog and for considering picking up a Charlie Kingsley Mystery. I’m very grateful for your time and attention. Being read is important to me, and I don’t take it lightly.
