“The Butlers’ Anti-Defamation Society” in Mystery Most Traditional
Every year, Malice Domestic releases an anthology of short stories based on a theme at their annual conference. This year, for the first time, I have a short story in this year’s anthology Mystery Most Traditional. As I came up with an idea for the story, I considered, what’s the most famous line in “traditional” whodunits? I immediately thought of the phrase “The butler did it.” So what happens when butlers take offense to what they see as a stereotype that paints them as violent killers? And what happens when there’s a murder at one of their meetings, and all of the suspects are butlers?
