While I'm not the captain of the neighborhood watch, I have annoyed people in the past with my ability to solve mysteries well before the story reveals whodunit. I've even had a couple people try to "test" me on this skill & then get mad when I proved my mettle...well, duh! Don't test me on it, then! ;o)
Great post, Kara!
That's funny that your friends test you, Alyx, and then get mad when you are right :) They'll learn...although never underestimate how far people will go. I was shocked when my friends and family threw a birthday party for me in March even though my birthday is in October. They were very pleased with themselves that I didn’t catch on.
Wow, Kara, you are THE mystery maven!
Funny post! I really enjoyed it.
Love your posting, Kara. I usually solve the mystery in books I'm reading - without peeking at the end. And when I've gone to mystery events, I often guess who done it before others. I even won a weekend
at a resort hotel in the area, too.
However, writing mysteries has its downside, too. Once while in a visitor center in a park in Virginia, I suddenly exclaimed "I know how to poison Lucy now!" It was something I saw in a nature exhibit, I think. Anyway, my sisters were alarmed and tried to shush me while looking around to see if anyone else heard.
Also, some people hesitate about eating at my house when they see several books about poison on my library shelf.
Thank you, Linda!
It's good to be able to laugh at these sorts of things with people who understand.
Gloria, what a hilarious story about realizing how to poison Lucy! It sounds like your sisters were a little taken aback by your enthusiasm.
Neat that you won a weekend at a resort hotel for solving a mystery.
Once when my boss was late to work a friend and I discussed starting a raffle, standing outside his locked office door. Each participant would put in five dollars and the person who came closest to guessing how he had been killed and locked inside his office would win the pool. For some reason when he arrived he was not amused. A guilty conscience, perhaps.
Since I've been writing mystery, my friends have suddenly become literary snobs. While they used to love mystery, now that I write it, it can't be that special. I swear, I rarely say a word about my writing. Most people don't know I write. Don't know I've had stories published. I have freaked my husband our on little bits of knowledge that I have from researching for my mss.
Great story, Warren! You probably didn't win employee of the month award for the boss in the locked room raffle.
Be sure to tell people that you write mysteries before you share your knowledge on how to commit a crime, E. B. :)
