Category:Influences

Bradshaw attributes her passion for writing to Dame Agatha Christie, who she says is the "reason I fell in love with the mystery genre. Hercule Poirot is the most interesting character I've ever read." She is equally fond of Robert B. Parker and his "fast-paced, witty style of writing."
