Elizabeth Barter asked Mick Finlay:

I love the spin on the old 'Conan Doyle' tales,I'm quite fond of both Barnett and Arrowood,they are a joy to see at work."Who will Ettie chose? The widower, Barnett, or the Inspector, Pettington?" I ask because she seems to be a very unconventional romantic lead, no many heroines play the tuba. Thank you for this fun read.

Mick Finlay Thank-you so much for getting in touch, Elizabeth, and I'm really glad you liked Arrowood. I'm just finishing the sequel (The Murder Pit) and it'll be out early next year. The relationships between Ettie, the Inspector and Barnett develop further in the second book, and in quite surprising ways (I think!) Ettie is a bit unconventional and she plays a greater role in solving the case in the second book, where she goes undercover in a sinister farm. Thanks again for getting in touch - I really appreciate it!
