di Imogen Blake (Autore)

Sakura Publishing, 2026

A thousand suspects, ready for the reader to accuse. Every cozy mystery needs a village worth suspecting: the bookseller who tracks who buys up poisons "for the garden," the retired inspector who is bored to the edge of pain, the busybody whose gossip turns out to be true, the stranger who arrives the week before the body does. But conjuring a whole community, and hiding a killer inside it, is cold, slow work. 1000 Characters for Your Cozy Mystery Novel hands you the village already populated. Across fourteen themed chapters you'll meet a thousand named townsfolk: sleuths and sidekicks, suspects and victims, red herrings and the quietly guilty, and every one arrives with a face, a want, and a reason to lie. Inside you'll find: 1,000 cozy mystery characters, organised into 14 browsable chapters A clear want and a story seed for every entry, so each one arrives plot-ready A cast built for misdirection: suspects, witnesses, red herrings and culprits who all lead a double life on the page Recurring regulars and series cast to carry a sleuth through book after book A craft method that treats every character as a doorway, not a finished figure, with an exercise in every chapter for making them your own Whether you're plotting your first parish murder or filling out a beloved series, this is a character-creation companion you'll reach for with every book. Open it, and give someone a motive.
