Author interview: Jennifer K. Breedlove
Jennifer Breedlove’s first novel, Murder Will Out, is already a favorite read of 2026 for me. The main character is a church organist who returns to her childhood summer place for a funeral and finds all kinds of intrigue and even ghosts. The writing, plotting and characters are all lovely. It deservedly won the Minotaur/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award. Jennifer graciously agreed to answer some questions.
Q: This is your first published book – but is it your first book? Are there novels stuck in a desk drawer somewhere, and this is the one that made it through? I ask because your voice seems both very assured and natural.
