I missed it the first time. The second and third time. My agent missed it, so did my beta readers. So did my editor. But there I was, reading through the revised, edited manuscript of A Spell of Murder one final time before sending it back, and I saw it: Wait a minute. She can’t know that those two are related… not yet!
A quick check back, and I confirmed that, yes, I’d jumped the gun on a clue. And that, dear readers, along with the altered last name of a secondary character, unclear pronouns, and various word repetitions, are why we revise, revise, revise!
Looking forward to reading this manuscript again, once the copy editor has gone through it. I wonder what she/he will find!
Happy reading!
