Everyone who voted wanted our sleuth to have a medical profession. I’m choosing the suggestion that she’s a lab technician working in radiology because that will give her regular time off to investigate. Now we have to choose a setting for this amateur detective. Select one of the following:
- Rural community
- Small town
- Small city
- Big city
- Resort community
- Island community
If you pick big city, you have to narrow it down to a smaller community. One of the requirements for a cozy mystery is that it takes place within a group of people with a restricted membership. In a city, that could be an apartment building, a club, or a small business. And please recommend a state. A small town in Maine is different from one in Indiana or one in Alaska. If you’re going outside the U.S., please recommend a region of a foreign country.
Because you live in Ohio, I pick a small city in that state.
I second Steve’s pick! Small city in Ohio!
