A Journalist is a Natural Sleuth
An Interview with Mystery Author Elaine Viets
By Elaine S. August

St. Louis is a city that I knew very well.  Then after moving and working in DC, I found myself between jobs. Characters are something I would know about, since a good reporter covers a lot of situations. Opposed to just stumbling over ‘dead’ people; it is written into the profession to investigate and is logical for a reporter to be a natural sleuth.  Now it is nice to just write my novels without the column.
