Author Interview: Katie Tietjen

I was a huge fan of Katie Tietjen’s first novel, Death in the Details, which follows war widow Maple Bishop just after the war has ended.  Maple is living in a tiny Vermont town and, though she’s a trained lawyer, ends up piecing together a living selling the dollhouses she creates.  She also makes “nutshells,”  tiny recreations of crime scenes.  The nutshells are based on the work of Frances Glessner Lee, the mother of crime scene investigation.  By book two, Murder in Miniature, Maple has earned the respect of the police in town and is now an official consultant.  The books are charming, thoughtful, and fascinating.  Katie was nice enough to answer a few questions about her books. read more
