Paige Turner asked V.M. Burns:

I must say, I am a little perplexed that you, a Black woman, have Sam of the Mystery Bookshop series such a huge fan of Agatha Christie who was a big time racist. Christie's book, TEN LITTLE INDIANS, was first titled TEN LITTLE N**GERS and many of her other books referred to Jewish, Black and Asian people in derogatory terms. So, why do you seem to idolize her? You mention Christie in most of your books.

Diane asked V.M. Burns:

Another home run with Murder on Tour....I love this series and I wonder when will Sam and Frank get married(smile)??? My other favorite.....I really enjoyed Sniffing out Murder and will this be a series or only a stand alone????? I loved both books and finished them in a few hours.....they were so good. Thank you for such good books.
