I've been a longtime fan of the Sparks and Bainbridge Mysteries by Allison Montclair, and I couldn't wait to pull the author into the studio and ask questions. Iris Sparks and Gwen Bainbridge are two of my favorite sleuths and their dialogue is the snappiest I've encountered in fiction. Alan Gordon shares what prompted him to begin this historical mystery series featuring two women who open a marriage agency in London after WWII. Both Iris and Gwen have suffered trauma, and Alan discusses their character development through the series, how reading The London Times shapes his plots, and how Iris and Gwen's voices popped into his head after his editor planted the seed. BONUS: a sneak peek at what's next for the series!

This week on Crime Wave: Mercury Carter—the mailman who never misses a delivery—returns!!!!!!! Can you tell how excited I am to score this chance to chat with Andrew Welsh-Huggins about THE DELIVERY? Mercury's latest delivery is interrupted when he comes across a woman badly injured in a car wreck. A man with a gun warns him away from the scene, but Merc disarms the attacker and rescues the crash victim. Ah, but that's just the page-turning intro to a deeper mystery stemming from the crash. . . which leads Merc into a strange new delivery complicated by a memorable pair of grifters, a crooked ex-cop, stolen identities, human trafficking, and murder. I loved this fast-paced, unpredictable thriller, and I love Mercury, whose resourcefulness is matched only by his quick wit and determination to never miss a delivery—but how the heck will he ever accomplish this one?
