A mechanical murder
A Facebook discussion about Alexa linked appliances led to this. I couldn’t help it. “May…I…help…you?” Detective Ironman scowled. I hate computer generated voices, he thought. Somewhere in that house is a laser reader pointed at the door connected to an … Continue reading

Who killed the smart guy at the blackboard?
While at the BooksNJ2017 festival, mystery author David Brown and I wandered a little off topic during our session on sidekicks. He tossed out this line: So a story could be about who killed the smart guy at the blackboard. Taking … Continue reading
