Goodreads asked Sarah Stewart Taylor:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Sarah Stewart Taylor A Stolen Child, the latest Maggie D'arcy mystery, came out of my long walks in the Portobello neighborhood of Dublin, where the book is set. I spent a lot of time there in 2021 and because of Covid restrictions, I was outside on the streets a lot more than I usually am when I'm in Dublin (as opposed to inside a pub!) I started thinking a lot about neighborhoods and windows and how we never really know what's going on in all those houses and apartments we pass by as we're walking around in cities. The victim in A Stolen Child, former model Jade Elliott, came to me as I was people watching in the neighborhood!
