What mystery authors would I invite to a dinner party?

October 10, 2013 By Terry

KTcoverlgIn an interview for the Mysteristas blog, I was asked what mystery authors I would invite to a dinner party. I chose a TV news reporter to keep things moving, a couple of recent Edgar nominees, and some perennial favorites. If you want to see the names, head on over to http://mysteristas.wordpress.com/2013/10/10/interview-terry-ambrose to find out. Oh and you can also find out what three famous characters I’d toss into the mixing bowl if I were going to mash them up and create McKenna. My choices may surprise you!

Kauai Temptations — “More delicious than a Coconut Mocha Frap (and that’s saying something), this rambunctious, character driven whodunit, kept me laughing out loud while I wallowed in the exotic locale beside the engaging amateur sleuth Wilson McKenna as he unraveled a timely case involving
identity theft and murder.  Terry Ambrose has penned a truly engaging, page turner of a mystery
in Kauai Temptations.”  — Jenn McKinlay, New York Times Best Selling Author of the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries and the Library Lovers Mysteries

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
