| Questions for Mary Hoffman
Well, as you're here, Mary, and you're willing to answer questions, I'll kick off by asking a couple.
I'm currently just over half way through The Falconer's Knot. It's clear to me from what I've read so far that you have a love of Italy, but why Italy? I mean it's a very nice place and I've been there several times, but you could just as easily have set up a similar murder mystery story in any one of a number of other countries.
Also, when you go on your research trips there, where do you start? Do you go with a list of detailed questions that you're looking for answers to, or is it more general than that? |
