Jennifer Chow, Rob Osler and Harini NagendraShow NotesOn this episode we finish our interviews with nominees for the Agatha Awards which will begiven at Malice Domestic this year.We first talked with Jennifer Chow who is nominated for her book “Death By Bubble Tea”(Berkley) for Best Contemporary Novel.When Yale Yee discovers her cousin Celine is visiting from Hong Kong, she is obliged to playtour guide to a relative she hasn't seen in twenty years. Not only that, but her father thinks it's awonderful idea for them to bond by running a food stall together at the Eastwood Village NightMarket. Yale hasn't cooked in years, and she hardly considers Celine's career as a social mediainfluencer as adequate experience, but because she's just lost her job at her local bookstore,she feels she has no choice.Yale and Celine serve small dishes and refreshing drinks, and while business is slow, iteventually picks up thanks to Celine's surprisingly useful marketing ideas. They're quite shockedthat their bubble tea, in particular, is a hit--literally--when one of their customers turns up dead.Yale and Celine are prime suspects due to the gold flakes that Celine added to the sweet drinkas a garnish. Though the two cousins are polar opposites in every way, they must work togetherto find out what really happened to the victim or the only thing they'll be serving is time.We talked then with Rob Osler who is nominated for a Best First Novel for his book “Devil'sChew Toy” (Level Best).Seattle teacher and part-time blogger Hayden McCall wakes sporting one hell of a shiner, withthe police knocking at his door. It seems that his new crush, dancer Camilo Rodriguez, hasgone missing and they suspect foul play. What happened the night before? And where isCamilo?Determined to find answers, pint-sized, good-hearted Hayden seeks out two of Camilo's friends—Hollister and Burley—both lesbians and both fiercely devoted to their friend. From them,Hayden learns that Camilo is a “Dreamer” whose parents had been deported years earlier, andwhose sister, Daniela, is presumed to have returned to Venezuela with them. Convinced that thecops won't take a brown boy's disappearance seriously, the girls join Hayden's hunt for Camilo.The first clues turn up at Barkingham Palace, a pet store where Camilo had taken a part-timejob. The store's owner, Della Rupert, claims ignorance, but Hayden knows something is up. Andthen there's Camilo's ex-boyfriend, Ryan, who's suddenly grown inexplicably wealthy. WhenHayden and Hollister follow Ryan to a secure airport warehouse, they make a shockingconnection between him and Della—and uncover the twisted scheme that's made both of themrich.The trail of clues leads them to the grounds of a magnificent estate on an island in PugetSound, where they'll finally learn the truth about Camilo's disappearance—and the fate of hisfamily.And Finally, we talked with Harini Nagendra who is nominated for a Best First Novel for her book:The Bangladore Detective's Club” (Constable)Solving crimes isn't easy.Add a jealous mother-in-law and having to wear a flowing sari into the mix, and you've got aproblem.When clever, headstrong Kaveri moves to Bangalore to marry doctor Ramu, she's resignedherself to a quiet life.But that all changes the night of the party at the Century Club, where she escapes to the gardenfor some peace - and instead spots an uninvited guest in the shadows. Half an hour later, theparty turns into a murder scene.When a vulnerable woman is connected to the crime, Kaveri becomes determined to save herand launches a private investigation to find the killer, tracing his steps from an illustrious brothelto an Englishman's mansion. She soon finds that sleuthing in a sari isn't as hard as it seemswhen you have a talent for maths, a head for logic and a doctor for a husband.And she's going to need them all as the case leads her deeper into a hotbed of danger, seditionand intrigue in Bangalore's darkest alleyways . . .We congratulate each and every nominee and wish them all the best of luck with their writingand in life.TRIVIALast week's question was:Which author used the following pseudonyms in their career.

Nina Wachsman and Martin EdwardsShow NotesWe talked to two more of the Agatha Nominees for this episode.First, we talked with Nina Wachsmann who is nominated for a Best First Novel for her bookThe Gallery of Beauties (Level Best Books) In the city that invented the concept of the ‘Ghetto,'it is surprising to learn that the Jews lived separately but not isolated from the culture aroundthem in the seventeenth century. Rabbis were not only leaders in the Jewish community, butscholars, mathematicians, statesmen and playwrights who were well known and respected inVenetian society and throughout Europe. The music, art and innovative foods which filled thecity, filtered into the Ghetto, finding its way into synagogues and homes.In a salon-like discussion with trustee David Sable, Nina Wachsman will bring to life this unusualcity and its unusually modern Jews, from her research for her novel of historical suspense, TheGallery of Beauties.We then talked with Martin Edwards who is nominated for Best Non-Fiction for his bookThe Life of Crime: Detecting the History of Mysteries and Their Creators (Harper Collins)In the first major history of crime fiction in 50 years, The Life of Crime: Detecting the History ofMysteries and Their Creators traces the evolution of the genre from the 18th century to thepresent, offering brand-new perspective on the world's most popular form of fiction.Author Martin Edwards is a multi-award-winning crime novelist, the president of the DetectionClub, archivist of the Crime Writers' Association and series consultant to the British Library'shighly successful series of crime classics, and therefore uniquely qualified to write this book. Hehas been a widely respected genre commentator for more than 30 years, winning the CWADiamond Dagger for making a significant contribution to crime writing in 2020, when he alsocompiled and published Howdunit: A Masterclass in Crime Writing by Members of the DetectionClub and the novel Mortmain Hall. His critically acclaimed The Golden Age of Murder (CollinsCrime Club, 2015) was a landmark study of detective fiction between the wars.The Life of Crime is the result of a lifetime of reading and enjoying all types of crime fiction, oldand new, from around the world. In what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus, MartinEdwards has thrown himself undaunted into the breadth and complexity of the genre to write anauthoritative—and enjoyable—study of its development and evolution. With crime fiction beingread more widely than ever around the world, and with individual authors increasingly thesubject of extensive academic study, his expert distillation of more than two centuries ofextraordinary books and authors—from the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann to the novels of PatriciaCornwell—into one coherent history is an extraordinary feat and makes for a compelling listen.TRIVIALast week's question was:Author Harlan Coben made a deal with whom in 2016 to adapt 14 of his novels into film?a. Fox Entertainmentb. Paramoutc. Blue Sky Productionsd. NetflixThe answer is d. Netflix. In August 2018, Coben signed a multi-million-dollar five-year deal withAmerican company Netflix. Under the deal, 14 of Coben's novels would be developed intooriginal Netflix series or films, with him serving as executive producer on all projects.[30] Thefirst title released under the deal was The Stranger, based on his novel of the same name,which premiered in January 2020.[31] In October 2022, it was announced that Netflix had re-upped the deal for another four years, with the Myron Bolitar series now also available foradaptationThis week's question is:Which author used the following pseudonyms in their career.
