I'm terrible at figuring out who did it.

I wasn't even close.

And by the way, when it comes to the ending and what actually happened,

bravo thank you it's very unpredictable and i really like the ending sequence where they invite everybody into the room all the suspects and the people involved to do this big dramatic dinner scene again i just found that very funny too they're like recreating what they would do in like a agatha christie book because in world coser and may love agatha christie which i find so charming yeah um the book

Well, all of your books essentially take place in this Golden Crescent neighborhood.

But Detective Auntie more specifically takes place in this strip mall in Scarborough and the different shops that are within it.

And there's a lot of interviews with different shopkeepers there because it's sort of the scene of the crime.

Is that strip mall based on a real place in your mind?

Is it, they want actual street names and corners, right?

Computer repair shop.

It's pretty eclectic.

Why do you write about and find inspiration from these communities, these places that you're familiar with?

And you do shout out Scarborough directly in the books too.

Like Golden Crescent is like a part of Scarborough or Scarberia as you call it.

You know, I have to say that when it comes to representation in all the books and movies and TV shows that we get,

Every show that's set in North America, for the most part, is in LA and Newark.

Almost always.

Even though Toronto is one of the top five biggest cities in North America.

So why aren't more shows set in Toronto?

Especially considering the fascinating history and the multiculturalism.
