S2 E15 / Murder, Mystery, and . . . Subtitles! 

I've discovered two foreign language TV shows, Crimes of Passion and The Art of Crime, that I think mystery readers will enjoy.

🧩 Find out how the shows work in hints of Agatha Christie, Jurassic Park Syndrome, tension triangles, lost Old Masters, and the always popular tropes of crime in beautiful locations. 

📺 One is a mid-century modern mystery (think Mad Men, but with murder). The other is art history and mystery.

S2 E14 / Mix together a World War II setting and a heist story, and you’ve got the very entertaining novel, A Peculiar Combination by Ashley Weaver. 

🔒This book has so many twists on tropes--cat burglars, Cinderella, and opposites attract, to name just a few. Plus, a safecracker protagonist torn between loyalty and revenge. So much to unlock! See what I did there? :)

S2 E12 / The Thursday Murder Club was the feel-good hit of 2020—and we certainly needed that in 2020! 

📖 I think the novel is also an example of a new type of subgenre, upscale mystery book club fiction. 

🔎 Join me for a look at this new subgenre, plus an exploration of the Gang of Misfits trope and what it all has to do with yet another possible new trope, retirement club fiction. #SoManyTropes

S1 E11 / Are you fond of a jolly little Christmas mystery? I certainly am. Join me for a look at the inspiration and research behind Murder on a Midnight Clear, a 1920s Christmas mystery.

❄️ I can’t pass up a mystery set at a snowbound country estate, so that’s exactly the situation I put my characters in for the sixth book in the High Society Lady Detective series. 

🧳 In this episode I delve into the wonderful world of vintage luggage, American slang from the 1920s, and my research trip to London and what it has to do with a world-wide lockdown.
