Where did you get the idea for your most... â€� Meera Lester Q&A

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Meera Lester The Murder of a Queen Bee (follow up to A Beeline to Murder) evolved from my memories of living in the Santa Cruz mountains on a ten-acre ranch. Seems like a lifetime ago, but I'd heard about an old nudist camp and also communes hidden deep in those woods. Drawing upon my life on a real world farmette and my knowledge of herbs and bees along with two real-life murder mystery stories that stuck in my head, I was able to develop a new story bringing those elements into play.
