Tangents are allowed in Cozy Mysteries.
In fact, characters barreling down sideroads to nowhere are red herring goldmines.
Unfortunately, the author is not afforded such freedom. (“Stay on plot, Chloe. Stay on plot!” the long-bearded taskmaster on my shoulder constantly crows.)
I think this is crap.
It’s unnegotiable crap, but still crap.
Just saying.
Until tomorrow…
