About the author

Vivian Conroy discovered Agatha Christie at thirteen and quickly devoured all the Poirot and Miss Marple stories. Over time Lord Peter Wimsey and Brother Cadfael joined her favorite sleuths. Even more fun than reading was thinking up her own missing heirs and priceless artifacts. For news on the latest releases, with a dash of dogs and chocolate, follow Vivian on Twitter via @VivWrites
