But I do think it's neat that you managed to do the challenge in such an original and provocative way. Crime fiction meets social commentary can be a lucrative concept, you know.

Or bad tidings, depending on the level of lucrativity you want to achieve...)Cruella Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11422848273167338884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4450078601022572253.post-69984791807157765302010-10-24T16:29:29.225+01:002010-10-24T16:29:29.225+01:00This is kind of a depressing story.
