The setting for these stories is the author's own community, with real places, real events, and investigations that a fifth grader would actually be able to do in real life. The inspiration for the books came from her two daughters, who both were enrolled in an early French Immersion program where nearly 100% of the teaching at school was in French. While the French Immersion program was excellent, in elementary school they were reading English at a lower level than typical for their age. The author struggled to find engaging books suitable for their age and not overly childish, and easy for them to read so that they would get that sense of accomplishment when they finished reading a book on their own. The Tri-City Mysteries were written to fill that gap.
