Episode 63: Suzanne Adair
The filmy, gray quality of the smoke column rising to the southwest told Captain Michael Stoddard that they were too late. The residence was gutted. He and his patrol of six redcoats from the Eighty-Second Regiment could render no aid.
He'd seen far too much of arson's smudge upon the sky during his six months in North Carolina. Nevertheless, he pressed his mare toward the smoke through summer's swelter. A loyalist financier named Jasper Bellington owned the house...
-- Suzanne Adair, Killer Debt, A Michael Stoddard American Revolution Mystery
If you, like me, enjoy a good historical mystery, you are going to love my guest this week. Suzanne Adair writes mysteries set during the Revolutionary War and told from the point of view of redcoats rather than patriots. The level of research is astonishing, but what really makes these books stand out for me is the humanity she gives to her characters -- loyalists, redcoats, patriots, and neutrals alike. War may be at their doorstep, but that doesn't give anyone a license to murder.
Suzanne has a feature on her blog that I really don't want you to miss. Called Relevant History, it welcomes experts who bring out an aspect of history not generally taught in schools and makes it relevant to the world today. For instance, my friend and brilliant historical mystery writer S.K. Rizzolo did a post for Suzanne on the subject of mixed-race heiresses in England in the early 1800s. Smart people sharing their knowledge and passion -- what more could you ask for?
Well, maybe a murder or two, but Suzanne has that covered in her books. Here is her Michael Stoddard series, in order:
1 - Deadly Occupation
2 - Regulated for Murder
3 - A Hostage to Heritage
4 - Killer Debt (out May 2018)
And here are her standalones:
Paper Woman
The Blacksmith's Daughter
Camp Follower
In addition to her website, you can check her out on Facebook and Twitter. And don't miss info on her crowdfunding campaign for Michael Stoddard Book 4, Killer Debt. Oh, and I can't forget the fangirl squee we gave out to De...
