Goodreads asked Jane Tesh:

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

Jane Tesh I live in a small town in North Carolina. You wouldn't think much would be going on, but whenever a new business opens, it's a big deal, and people always take sides as to whether or not the new thing is a good thing. I thought, what if someone wants to open an art gallery? Since my PI is an artist, she would be called upon to help. That's the idea that got me started on A Bad Reputation, the latest Madeline Maclin Mystery.
