I think inspiration comes from huge numbers of places, and some of those are little triggers, where some are more general motivations to write. For me, I love to immerse people in another world, and I love to put characters in interesting situations and see what happens to them. So I suppose those are my main inspirations.
But then there are also other motivations and inspirations, such as, in She Lies in Wait, really wanting to portray a victim who was thoroughly realised and not just someone to trigger a murder investigation. Someone you cry over, because the reality of any murder is the awful heartache and the terrible waste, and I didn't want to lose track of that.

Hi Gytha, I wanted to say how much I enjoy your books...I've just started listening to "Lie Beside Me" on my daily commute. I ordered the trio of Jonah Sheens books (trio? it's not a trilogy because there might be more...is trio the word?) for my mom who is an incredibly avid reader, for her birthday. How much time do you generally spend researching for each book? I'm amazed by the detailed policing details.
