Goodreads asked Alison Joseph:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Alison Joseph My most recent standalone, Dying to Know, is all about particle physics. I got the idea because I got a bit obsessed with the search for the Higgs Boson, and ended up talking to physicists. Then while I was writing it, they found the Higgs Boson, so I had to change all the physics in my novel. My most recent novella, Hidden Sins, features Agatha Christie as a (fictional) detective. So those ideas were all about what it was like to have survived the First World War and be well aware that another war was possible.
