Welcome to Mysteries to Die For and this Toe Tag.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is normally a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you at the heart of mystery. Today is a bonus episode we call a Toe Tag. It is the first chapter from a fresh release in the mystery, crime, and thriller genre.Today's featured release is One Dead, Two To Go by Elena Hartwell TG Wolff ReviewOne Dead, Two To Go is a PI Mystery. Eddie Shoes' latest client is the worst. She lies. She cheats. And now, just after the body of her husband's mistress is found, she's gone missing. Eddie has to go find her…it's the only way she's going to get paid.Bottom line: One Dead, Two To Go is for you if you like comedic PI mysteries where good sleuthing goes toe to toe with bad luck.Strengths of the story. The storytelling style is the first thing I noticed. It's fun, free, and fast-paced. Written in the same vein as Evanovich's Stephanie Plum, Hartwell's Eddie Shoes is serious about her work. She has to be to manage the chaos around her.Eddie Shoes, born Edwina Zapata Shultz, is the daughter of card shark and a mafioso. She's a woman who uses her brains to make a living as a PI. She isn't a fighter but she is tenacious and willing to go where good sense doesn't tread. She was well developed and an easy character to cheer for.Eddie's mother drops in for an uninvited extended visit and decides to help out. Chava is different from most mother characters. She was 16 when Eddie was born, so this mama is only in her mid-forties. She is a slight of hand pro in addition to card player and has the same tenacity as her daughter. Chava becomes Eddie's ad hoc assistant, bringing her own skills and connections to the case. The story has a murder but the plot is focused on the disappearance of Eddie's client, Kendra Hallings. Between a cheating husband and a mystery man, it seems all but certain that Kendra was kidnapped. Before Eddie can put the pieces together…she has to find them. Kendra's life isn't what she painted it to be. Her husband isn't what she thought he was. And then there's that mystery man again.Where the story fell short of ideal: With comedic style stories, it's often hard to check all the boxes, but this one does. The bones of the kidnapping mystery are strong with the actions of the parties being consistent with their motivations. I thought about the end for several days after reading it, following each thread to see if they stood up, and they do.Eddie drives her part of the plot and, in doing so, forces the bad guys to act. She could have stopped looking for Kendra, and the story would have ended. Eddie, with the help of Chava, pushed this story to a satisfying end.One Dead, Two To Go was released in 2023 from Open Road Media Mystery & Thriller and is promoted by Partners In Crime Tours and is available from AMAZON LINK and other book retailers. The next two books in the series – Two Heads Are Deader Than One and Three Strikes, You're Dead are also availableAbout Elena Hartwellwww.elenahartwell.comElena Hartwell spent several years working in theater as a playwright, director, designer, and...

Lee had me in stiches one minute and dropping knowledge that left me speechless in another. He is super talented and has written TV shows, books based on shows, Films, and including a book series with Janet Evanovich! he put himself through UCLA as a freelance journalist, writing for such publications as American Film, Starlog, Newsweek, The Los Angeles Times Syndicate, The Washington Post and The San Francisco Chronicle (He also wrote erotic letters to the editor for Playgirl at $25-a-letter, but he doesn't tell people about that, he just likes to boast about those "tiffany" credits). He published his first book ".357 Vigilante" (as "Ian Ludlow," so he'd be on the shelf next to Robert Ludlum) while he was still a UCLA student. The West Coast Review of Books called his debut "as stunning as the report of a .357 Magnum, a dynamic premiere effort," singling the book out as "The Best New Paperback Series" of the year. Naturally, the publisher promptly went bankrupt and he never saw a dime in royalties. (But the books are available on the Kindle as "The Jury Series") Welcome to publishing, Lee. His subsequent books include the non-fiction books "Successful Television Writing" and "Unsold Television Pilots" ("The Best Bathroom Reading Ever!" San Francisco Chronicle) as well as the novels "My Gun Has Bullets" ("It will make you cackle like a sitcom laugh track," Entertainment Weekly), "Dead Space" ("Outrageously entertaining," Kirkus Reviews), "Watch Me Die" ("as dark and twisted as anything Hammet or Chandler ever dreamed up," Kirkus Reviews).Goldberg broke into television with a freelance script sale to "Spenser: For Hire." Since then, his TV writing & producing credits have covered a wide variety of genres, including sci-fi (SeaQuest), cop shows (Hunter, The Glades), martial arts (Martial Law), whodunits (Diagnosis Murder, Nero Wolfe), the occult (She-Wolf of London), kid's shows (R.L. Stine's The Nightmare Room), T&A (Baywatch), comedy (Monk) and utter crap (The Highwayman). His TV work has earned him two Edgar Award nominations from the Mystery Writers of America. His two careers, novelist and TV writer, merged when he began writing the "Diagnosis Murder" series of original novels, based on the hit CBS TV mystery that he also wrote and produced, and later wrote the 15 bestselling novels based on "Monk," another show that he worked on. He is co-creator of the hit Hallmark movie series "Mystery 101." He also he teamed up with Janet Evanovich to write the #1 New York Times bestselling Fox & O'Hare novels ("The Heist," "The Chase," "The Job," "The Scam," "The Pursuit"). His most recent books include the thriller "True Fiction" and the police procedural "Lost Hills." But perhaps he's best known for his pioneering work mapping the human genome and negotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement. Goldberg lives in Los Angeles with his wife and his daughter and still sleeps in "Man From UNCLE" pajamas. His latest book is Malibu Burning! Its soo good! leegoldberg.com

The Recovery Agent by Janet Evanovich Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3MC9e1C “The thriller master, Janet Evanovich, has launched a new series. Prepare for twists, action, and one of the best books of the year.” —Mystery & Suspense “An action-packed adventure that delights much like the Indiana Jones films and the classic Romancing the Stone. It has everything, from killer snakes, military-grade assault weapons, and human sacrifice to romance and some top shelf lingerie that comes in handy for treating the wounded. A rollicking adventure and a great start to a new series.” —Booklist (starred review) “Moves at lightning speed and never stops…This new series feels distinct from Evanovich's other hits, but every bit as addictive.” —Mystery Scene Magazine “Nobody cross-pollinates funny banter and unresolved sexual tension to better effect than Evanovich, and the mystery is all action, too.” —Amazon Book Review “I burned through The Recovery Agent…Just read and enjoy. I know I did.” – Sarah Weinman, The New York Times --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

"Autorin Susan Steiner, die vor der Veröffentlichung ihrer Werke viele Jahre als Journalistin für den Guardian gearbeitet hat, gesteht ihren gebrochenen Heldinnen mehr als die oft in Krimis zu findende plakative Eindimensionalität zu, in der eine pittoreske Marotte oder Vorliebe komplexe Charaktere zurechtstutzt und als Wiedererkennungsmerkmal eingesetzt wird.""Die Funken der Attraktion sprühen, im Stile von Ocean's Eleven werden weitere holzschnittartige Protagonistinnnen, die jeweils Meister ihres Fachs sind, für immer absurdere Scams herangezogen, um diverse Superschurken zu stellen und ihnen das Handwerk zu legen."

Stephanie Evanovich has been crafting stories since she could form sentences. Born and raised in New Jersey, her fertile imagination kept working overtime as she raised her family and rooted for their teams. Sons, sports and storytelling finally combined to create her  NYT bestselling debut novel, Big Girl Panties.  A firm believer in the power of high-octane coffee and happy endings, you'll find her at her desk working on the next story with her hyperactive pup, Griffin, doing her best to distract her.  Authors on the Air host Pam Stack welcomes Stephanie to the studio to discuss her new book UNDER THE TABLE.   Suffocating in a dead-end marriage, Zoey Sullivan fled to New York and moved in with her older sister Ruth. Pursuing her passion for cooking was never an option when she was with Derek, and now Zoey relishes her independence. When Zoey’s meets reclusive millionaire Tristan Malloy, she’s blown away by his kitchen— But despite his firm body, handsome looks, and piles of cash, Tristan—a computer programmer—is shy and more than a little socially awkward. Zoey is sure that Tristan has all the right raw ingredients—and she’s the right person to spice them up turn him into a delectable dish. But Zoey’s unprepared for just how well her makeover works. Tristan turns out to be even sexier once he’s gained a little confidence and the right wardrobe. Beneath the gorgeous package, Tristan is a great guy who deserves a woman who really appreciates him. Slowly but surely, Zoey realizes she may have found her perfect match—but does Tristan even know how her feelings have changed? Is that warm look in his eyes gratitude for the new and exciting world she’s ushered him into, or something more? And what will happen when Zoey’s ex comes to town, looking to win her back?

In this episode the gang gets straight to the point. No vampires trying to get laid, no space elves, just steel. As always they ramble, get off topic, are rude, and off color. You've been warned. After we get done talking about sharp pointy things we throw Miranda back behind the screen and her topics are: Harbor, Banquet, Grandmother, Miner, Quiet, and Courage. NPCs in this episode: Mr. Evanovich came back for more abuse. Seems like the vampire liked it the first time and came back for more!

Ken interviews the versatile Phoef Sutton who has written sitcoms, dramas, screenplays, and novels.  Among his credits: Cheers, Newhart, Boston Legal, Terriers, a Robert DeNiro movie, and novels, including one with Janet Evanovich. Part 1 deals with comedy, features, and how he got that rather unusual name.

Things are heating up in Trenton in Seven Up by Janet Evanovich. Steph is tracking Eddie DeChooch, aka "Choochie", a semi-retired mobster who can't see, hear, or get it up. Another FTA is a metaphorical flaccid penis who finally found his balls, and Steph's perfect sister, Valerie, has sworn off penises (peni?) altogether. Morelli and Steph are engaged, but there seems to have been a direct correlation between being cockblocked for all of Hot Six and his intense desire to propose. Meanwhile Ranger's hard for Steph and offers her a terrifying deal. Katy discusses her childhood aspirations of being a shark singer (yeah yeah, it's not a thing. Whatever.), Frannie loses her mind over a simple question, and we both discuss the delicious ways that Janet subtly (and unsubtly) highlights the ridiculousness of men and their penises (peni?).

***BONUS*** Stay tuned at the end to hear how we hilariously and pathetically failed at attempting a Skype introduction! We're back to Stephanie Plum (yay!) this week with Hot Six by Janet Evanovich. This week Ranger is the newest FTA, suspected of killing the son of the leader of the black market gun cartel. Stephanie turns down Vinny's request to track down Ranger, wisely taking on a homicidal maniac who beat and torched his ex-wife instead. Meanwhile, Grandma Mazur peaces out of the Plum house and moves in with Stephanie, Morelli is cockblocked, and Stephanie finds herself owning a dog named Bob. We get some interesting insight into Frannie's childhood habits, Katy celebrates self-combustion, and we both discuss crotchless underwear.

This week we're discussing High Five by Janet Evanovich. Stephanie Plum is short on money and Trenton is short on bond jumpers, leading Steph to accept Ranger's employment offers of "interior decorating" and chauffeuring (2 guesses as to how those go). Steph's crotchety uncle Fred, known to everyone in the Burg as a tightwad, has gone missing and Steph adds finding him to her to-do list. Oh, and Benito Ramirez is out of jail and looking for Steph. Cause that's not terrifying at all. We discuss whether penises are cute (they're not), Frannie recounts her traumatic ordeal at a strip club, and Katy teaches Frannie that trains are, in fact, real.
