Palm Springs Mid-Century Modern


During our recent visit to Palm Springs I became more familiar with the mid-century homes featured in my first mystery book, For Sale in Palm Springs. In that story, a Realtor is brutally murdered inside a home that he has listed for sale. In odd coincidences I found myself walking through an Alexander tract home build in the late 1950's with a realtor. Was there a murderer lurking around the corner? Hiding in a closet? No, not during this trip, but these homes are certainly interesting and the father and son team that built them in the late fifties and early sixties put up so many that they doubled the size of Palm Springs by doing so. We're sure there is another murder mystery lurking within these homes and the neighborhood, we'll just have to spend more time in Palm Springs.
