Bluffton residents know her as Lucinda Stratton Guthrie. She writes mystery books under the pen name Bluette Matthey.
Today she lives in Béziers in the south of France with her husband and, as she puts it, two demanding cats. (As an additional Bluffton connection, her brother is Rodney Stratton.)
The former Blufftonite and BHS grad says she grew up reading mysteries and being frightened to death as a child watching Alfred Hitchcock on Friday nights. The result: “Two Murders Too Many,” Bluette’s latest mystery.
