SPENCER QUINN: Thereby Hangs a Tail, A Chet and Bernie Mystery
Spencer Quinn, a.k.a. Peter Abrahams, joins us to talk about the second book in his new Chet and Bernie mystery series. Praised by Stephen King as "a canine Sam Spade full of joie de vivre," Chet and his human companion Bernie have both had some setbacks in life, but together they make up a team like no other. In Thereby Hangs a Tail, Bernie and Chet are called on to investigate threats made against an unlikely target - a pretty, pampered show dog named Princess. What seems like a joke turns into a serious case when Princess and her owner are abducted. To make matters worse, Bernie's on-again, off-again girlfriend, reporter Susie Sanchez, disappears too. When Chet (the dog) is separated from Bernie, he's on his own to put the pieces together, find his way home, and save the day.
LYNN KIELE BONASIA: Summer Shift
Forty-four-year-old Cape Cod clam bar owner Mary Hopkins is stuck in the cycle of her seasonal business; overwhelmed by the relentless influx of new names and fresh young faces, she feels as if life is passing her by. As Mary faces challenges and losses, it’s her rekindled romance with an old love and her burgeoning unlikely friendships with a warm, eccentric collection of local characters that keep her afloat. Set against the backdrop of Cape Cod sand, sun, and seafood, Summer Shift is the story of a woman’s struggle to find the peace, love, and human connection that have eluded her for decades.
BRUNONIA BARRY: The Map of True Places
Author of the New York Times best seller, The Lace Reader, Brunonia Barry joins us to talk about her newest book, The Map of True Places. Respected psychotherapist Zee Finch is about to marry one of Boston's most eligible bachelors. But the suicide of a patient throws Zee into emotional chaos and takes her back to places she though she'd left behind. Her father, Finch, long ago diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, has been hiding how sick he really is and it now falls to Zee to help her father through this difficult time. Overwhelmed by her new role, and uncertain about her future, Zee destroys the existing map of her life and begins a new journey, one that will take her not only into her future but into her past as well.
