Mystery Author Mystery

One not-yet-popular theory about why author Lisa Ann Reardon took a 20-guage shotgun to her father's backside is that she did it to drum up interest in her mysteries. Plots of her books include an abusive father, a woman who is desperate to figure out her life and a euthenasia-gone-wrong. So it is only natural that, if as reported there was some undefined dispute with her father prior to the shooting, that tongues will start wagging and people will look into her stories on paper for an explanation for her choice in life.
