Just as artists copy the masters to learn various techniques, I decided to write a short mystery in the style of Dame Agatha Christie. The result was The End of the Tour. Following upon Christie's examples, I had the setting in a closed environment with an amateur sleuth and a host of over-the-top characters who had both motive and opportunity. And, at the end, I had the typical reveal where the solution is explained.
I was so happy with the result that I've put the mystery up on Amazon as a 99 cent Kindle short story.
Here's the product description for The End of the Tour from the Amazon sales page.
A cozy mystery short story.
"Richard was a bully who insulted everyone around him. No wonder he was murdered. The question was, "Who did it?" His sister-in-law who despised him? Or, his trophy wife who had to beg for every penny? Written in the style of Dame Agatha, The End of the Tour is filled with campy characters, a cozy setting, and a final twist!"
