And, here's what Janet has to say about her delicious mystery:

The Novel and Me The idea for Crepes Suzette-a cozy mystery, came to me many years ago. While I was attending college I had a roommate who was searching for her biological family. She was unfortunate to have had a difficult childhood with her adoptive parents but fortunate to have found a wonderful relationship with her biological mother. She was in the process of finding her biological father when we graduated and went our separate ways. I hope she was successful.
In case you're wondering, I name all my cozy mysteries after my favorite desserts: Eggnog, Crepes Suzette and Charlotte Russe. Hey, given the choice...why not?
Crêpes Suzette is a French dessert consisting of a crêpe with caramelized sugar and butter, tangerine or orange flavoring and, topped with liqueur served flambé.
There are several stories of origin of the dish. One story
claims Crêpes Suzette was named in honor of a French actress Suzanne Reichnberg
(1853-1924) who worked under the name of Suzette. In 1897 she was appearing in
the play, Comédie Francaise in the
role of a maid. During the program, she served crêpes on stage. Monsieur
Joseph, owner of a restaurant providing the crêpes, decided to flambé the thin
pancakes to attract the audience’s attention and keep the food warm for the
actors eating them. Hence the name Crêpe Suzette.
Crepes
