Linsey Lanier’s two shorter works, The West Wind Blows and The Unexpected Guest, were published at the beginning and middle of her writing career. The West Wind Blows appeared in 2010, the same year as her debut Clever Detective novels, while The Unexpected Guest came out in 2014 during her most prolific period for the Miranda and Parker series.
Short works like these often give readers a lower-commitment way to sample an author’s voice, and for Lanier’s fan base they fill in gaps between her longer series releases.
