Anybody recall details?  Like titles for instance?  Thanks in advance!   [snow_grin]

In Ep #1111, Flora brings a copy of her latest, A SUMMER'S DEATH, to Collinwood to give to Gerard. And after Gabriel reads the title, I love it when she explains, "In three parts - the book, not the death."  [snow_cheesy]  It's also a hoot when she says that it's her best work and she hopes the critics notice.

That's the only title that I distinctly remember. But then, how could that one not stick in your mind?  [snow_wink]

I seem to remember another one called "A Death in Winter"--or at least "A [Something] in Winter."

In Ep #1194 (which we haven't come to in the WP yet), Flora refers to one of her books that she believes was called WINTER'S SECRET. Is that the one you're thinking of, DarkLady?

Thanks so much!  I'm in the planning stages of a story and wanted to include a tiny homage to DS, in this case a novel that will form part of the plot.  Said novel will be The Autumn Nightmare by Fleur McCullen.   [snow_clown]

A perfect choice considering Flora's penchant for sticking the names of seasons in her titles.  [snow_wink]

Right, it was Winter's Secret--perhaps an homage to Vicki?

Zahir, I like your idea very much! Keep us posted!

When she first meets Daphne Harridge, I think that Flora makes a remark that Daphne was the name of the heroine of one of her novels. Can't remember the title though.
