Reader’s Mystery Challenge Most of us that read mysteries try to figure out the ending before the author reveals it to us. That includes searching for clues which could be vital to the conclusion. I had fun with five other authors while writing this book. We each supplied a clue. (Are they red herrings? You decide!) All five of us included the following items in each of our books: 1. Someone wears a bow tie 2. A bird swoops down and steals something 3. A rose 4. Reflection in glass or mirror 5. Chinese finger puzzle There is no prize for finding all the clues, simply the satisfaction that you have the potential to be a great detective – even if it’s an armchair detective. Happy clue hunting.
