Olive Kitteridge, but each story is told from the pov of a member of an unsolved mystery or a crime family like the Godfather! #MSWL

I'm totally enamored by The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo! If someone did this, but made it crime, made it all about gritty, underworld secrets, I'd love to rep it! What Reid does so well is evoking scene! We never tarry too far from being on the stage of the story! #MSWL

I just read the first 12 pages of Evelyn Hugo and I’m pretty hooked! I could see this hook/format/voice working really well for a crime/mystery novel! #MSWL #literaryagent #amreading

Fridays are a great time to send me your queries! Check out my #MSWL www.manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/to...

I'd love to see more suspense and mysteries written in first person POV! I'd love to find a story with a great voice!

Give me The Pitt but make it a thriller/mystery/crime novel! Not so into the medical, but really into the quick, but deep character development! I'm still thinking about these characters!
