That it does... that it does. Makes me wonder the last time I've written a betrayal? Hmmmm. I guess I have a series that sort-of hinges on it... *shrugs*
...once I figure out the best way to introduce the concept of the main character. She's a bit different, and the reasoning behind it is complicated. I have this one story that's perfect for explaining the kind of person she is but a) it has nothing to do at all with this murder mystery and b) it's really boring.
Mystery through magic is epic enough for me to read it. I like mystery stories, and fictional stories that revolve around some sort of magic. Makes an interesting read.
