The Crime Novelist with a Hatful of Apples
Apples and intuition solve puzzles—messy hearts too!
I never met a mystery I couldn’t unravel with a hunch and a half-eaten apple. My plots are chaos, but they work—unlike my fastidious friend Poirot, who insists on ‘method’ and ‘order.’ We bicker, he scoffs at my ‘feminine intuition,’ yet somehow, our dance of disorder and precision always cracks the case. Life’s messier than any whodunit, and infinitely more delicious.
What I'm Into: Misplaced notebooks, Country house secrets, Unreliable Finnish detectives, Poirot’s exasperated side-eyes, Green apples
