CAROL’S (OTHER) FAVORITE

If you were writing a murder mystery and wanted to know whether a character could choke to death on the scarf she used to fake the regurgitation of ectoplasm, whom would you ask? What about wondering if Botox could be used as a murder weapon? In both cases, the answer would be Dr. Doug Lyle. These are only a couple of the questions Dr. Lyle answers in this how-to book for mystery writers. He cautions at the very beginning that the scenarios explored are "not to be used for real-life behavior." Really? It's still a great read for not only writers, but any one hooked on cop shows, CSI shows, and forensics. Dr. Lyle will share his expertise with us at a launch party for this book; don't miss this chance to quiz him in person.
