Hi Brian! I just finished reading Funeral For A Friend and loved it!! Great story line and the suspense kept me reading for hours. My question is: How did you come up with the setting being Duluth, MN?? I found it very interesting to recognize many of the street names and other locations of the city. I grew up in northwestern Wisconsin with Duluth being 40 miles away. Drove those slippery snowy hilly roads often!

Thanks, Loretta! Yes, those crazy-steep San Francisco-style streets...hard to believe anyone in the Midwest thought that was a good idea!!
Duluth has a perfect combination of elements for my stories...all the natural beauty, the faded glory of the buildings. It's big enough that you can imagine dark things happening there but small enough that you're always bumping into your past around every corner.

No question, just thanks for a great story. A bit over a year ago I asked if you were going to start a series with Shelby Lake and you told me that the next in the series was going to be different. What an understatement! The Ursulina was excellent. Suspense and bittersweet tears. Thank you, you did very, very well. ? (I need a question mark in order to send this.)
