A stolen purse, a thriller writer and a particular set of skills
who writes the sort of thrillers where a female protagonist thinks she has a pretty good life, then discovers that there’s somethingAnd so if Sarah wrote about what happened to her in September of 2021, the scene would probably start cheerily, but with a vague sense of dread. In her case — spoiler alert! — what began as a literal walk in the park ended with her chasing down the man who allegedly took her purse.Sarah needed a break from the research she’d been doing for her new book.
“I knew my bag was gone,” Sarah said. “And the first thing I thought was: I can't believe I left my bag in the car. My favorite earrings were in there!” As a writer of thrillers, Sarah said she’s “always thinking about a little clue that doesn’t seem important at first, but when readers finish the book, they look back and say, ‘Oh, that was the giveaway.’”That was so specific. Sarah remembered that petty thieves often toss the pilfered purse or wallet under a bush or in the trash after extracting the cash and credit cards. Maybe she could at least get her earrings back.
There were several Sunocos. They started with the nearest one. The trash cans outside didn’t contain Sarah’s purse, so she went inside the minimart to check.The heroine in Sarah’s upcoming novel — “” her 13th — is trying to remain incognito. The character worries that she may be spotted by a gas station security camera. The realization prompted Sarah to tell the Sunoco clerk about the smash and grab and ask if that particular Sunoco had a camera.It did.
