Hey gang,

If you’re ready for a laugh, look no further than this article:

[http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/mystery-novels-inspired-by-a-co-working-space](http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/03/06/mystery-novels-inspired-by-a-co-working-space)

Excerpt:

> **“ ‘A’ Is for ‘Alice Did It’ ”**  
> Someone has been using a coworking space’s microwave to reheat what smells like tilefish casserole. Several co-workers are discussing hiring a private detective when Alice walks in, eating tilefish casserole. Will everyone respond by leaving passive-aggressive Post-its on her lunchbox? Or will a hero, perhaps even a poet turned screenwriter with a torrented copy of Final Draft, rise up and destroy the microwave on behalf of nostrils everywhere?

I’m loving this. Maybe makes for a good post to your communities’ boards! People can come up with their own 100-words-or-less mystery novel concept 🙂

Tony
