Secret Garden: The Love Killings

I discovered this secret garden a few weeks ago while walking Chevy. It reminds me so much of the first crime scene in The Love Killings. Not just the garden but the house that goes with it. Before moving to Los Angeles, I found a remarkable place to live outside Philadelphia. A mansion divided into thirty apartments. My rent, with three fireplaces and a view, topped out at $270! It was an awesome place to live! And the perfect place to stage a horrific mass killing! And why not? I knew every room in the building. I had a serial killer who just escaped capture in Los Angeles and fascinated readers in City of Echoes. I had Matt Jones on medical leave recovering from gunshot wounds. So why not bring everyone back together in Philly? And why not do it in the middle of winter? How happy I am to have found this secret garden and the wonderful memories that go with it!

  1. The Love killings is one of our favorite books ever! It fits with City of Echoes perfectly. But also, for us, The Dead Room so much! Maybe because everyone is so young, like the movie True Romance! Thanks for these wonderful stories!
