Evelyn Cullet's Masterpiece of Murder

Evelyn Cullet has been an aspiring author since high school when she wrote short stories, but she didn't begin her first novel until college, later in life. Afterward, she continued to take writing classes and work on her novels while employed by a major soft drink company. Now, after early retirement, she finally has the chance to write full-time. Evelyn enjoys playing the piano, being an organic gardener, and an amateur Lapidary. She and her husband live in a suburb of Chicago. She writes mystery romance and romantic suspense. Her latest is MASTERPIECE OF MURDER.

Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp? The message I'd like to convey is: Never try to profit from someone else's crime. It doesn't pay.

If someone wrote a book about your life, what would they title it? A book about my life would be titled, "Mistakes to avoid on the road to becoming a published author or what in the world was she thinking?"

What is the ultimate dream vacation? My ultimate dream vacation would be at a romantic, posh resort on a private island, somewhere in the Caribbean with someone who truly cares about me.

What person in history would you most like to meet? I would like to meet Agatha Christie, to discuss how she arrived at all those marvelous ideas for her mystery novels.

If you could design a refrigerator magnet, what would it say? "If you're looking for anything unhealthy to eat, you won't find it here,."



My new novel, MASTERPIECE OF MURDER is fast-paced romantic suspense that takes you on a madcap adventure to the beautiful resort city of Barioche, Argentina, where a broken-hearted art student, Charlotte Ross, is intent on locating her errant fiancé. But her fiancé has his own reasons for being in Bariloche--he's after a stolen art masterpiece--that complicate Charlotte’s life and threaten her very existence as she stumbles into a downward spiral of deception, art forgery, and murder. When Charlotte accidently finds the murder victim, circumstantial evidence begins to mount up against her and the local police suspect she is the killer. Now she must use the skills she learned from her mystery writer friend, along with the help of two fellow art students, to discover who is really behind the murder. Not an easy task with a military police officer dogging her every step.

MASTERPIECE OF MURDER is available in print and ebook from the publisher at:  http://www.wings-press.com/ and from Amazon. Also available as an ebook for the Nook from Barnes & Noble.
