Hilarious, gutsy and resourceful, Peter Key is my new favorite amateur sleuth.”—Elle Cosimano, New York Times bestselling author Listen in as we chat about wish fulfillment, how he put a fresh, fun face on PI fiction, and a special introduction to an adorable (but at the time of recording, very high) pup named Liam! https://www.mariesutro.com/twisted-passages-podcast https://www.johnfram.com ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Fram is the author of several queer supernatural thrillers such as The Bright Lands and The Midnight Knock. As Jack Friday, he writes about the bisexual private detective Peter Key, beginning with KILLER VIBES. He lives in Austin, where he does as little as possible.

This week on Crime Wave: Meet Peter Key, the self-described laziest private investigator in Texas, whose unexpected inheritance drops him into the middle of a mystery that refuses to stay buried. When a stash of cash and questions surrounding his late uncle's death send him digging for answers, Peter finds himself navigating Austin's quirky neighborhoods, dangerous secrets, and plenty of people who'd rather he stop asking questions. Jack Friday's KILLER VIBES blends sharp humor, memorable characters, and twisty suspense into an entertaining series debut that proves sometimes the most reluctant detective is exactly the one for the job. #podcast #author #interview #authors #CrimeWavePodcast #authorsontheair #podcast #podcaster #authors #authorsofig #authorsofinstagram #authorinterview #writingcommunity #suspensebooks #authorssupportingauthors #thrillerbooks #suspense #wip #writers #bookrecommendations #bookaddict #bookaddicted #bookaddiction #bibliophile #read #amreading #lovetoread #BonnarSpring #BonnarSpringBooks #bookouture #thrillers #JackFriday #KillerVibes Connect with Jack: https://johnfram.com
