In This Episode The Book Evangelists discuss Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie Morning Chatter #NaNoPrep has begun. We discuss the new NaNoWriMo stuff, which Lissa already has! "These are the traditions in my house, you order it the first day it's announced, and you use it all as soon as it comes. It's like a kid on Christmas but it happens right after Labor Day every year and it's beautiful." -Lissa "Every year before NaNoWriMo starts, I pre-order the winners tshirt because notoriously I won't wear it unless I win and make 50,000 words because I'm ethical, but I'm also cheap, and I don't want to have spent the money on something I can never wear. So this causes me to succeed every year, just for the tshirt." Marian explaining "The Marian Rakestraw challenge" Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie is described at goodreads.com: What more can a mystery addict desire than a much-loathed murder victim found aboard the luxurious Orient Express with multiple stab wounds, thirteen likely suspects, an incomparably brilliant detective in Hercule Poirot, and the most ingenious crime ever conceived? This blog post is spoiler-free. On the podcast, we discuss Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie in detail and our discussion in the podcast is filled with minor and major spoilers. This book is famous enough to have been made into at least 3 movies and has more than 19,000 Goodreads ratings. If you are listening to the audiobook, you should know THERE IS A MAP OF THE TRAIN CAR in the print book. Also, you can easily find many online resources about the real train The Orient Express now and historically. What cheats are allowed in detective novels? • We aren't sure yet. But we enjoy discussing it. Also, spoilers. • Which elements are the clues? • What does the author gift herself? • What does the author gift the reader? To further study cozy mystery novels for comparison, Marian is rereading Dorothy L. Sayers' Whose Body? Old Book Problems "I'm from a hometown that has something called the "Italian Fest" and stabbing with knives has never been part of that culture that they celebrated...and I've never heard that Italians might stab people with knives. So I was glad that if that was going to be part of how the detectives were making their decisions that they explained the stereotypes to me." - Lissa "Everybody in this book is described by racial characteristics, or religious ones, or class ones." -Marian More Books We Discussed Lissa's knowledge of Agatha Christie mostly has come from repeatedly reading To Say Nothing of the Dog; or, How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump At Last by Connie Willis, and we both highly recommend it. Although you should read Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome first. Marian is looking for a good beat sheet for outlining a mystery novel. She has tried Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel by Hallie Ephron and the "Whydunit" section of Save the Cat. Coming Up Next episode: Marian is reading Packing for Mars by Mary Roach and Lissa is reading Heartland by Sarah Smarsh and A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson.

Christmas is the perfect excuse to touch base with friends and find out what they’ve been up to. So, we reached out to several authors who were guests on the show in 2018 and invited them to join us for the First Annual PDI Office Christmas Party. Twelve responded and I had a blast finding out what’s they’ve got in store for the year ahead. Of course, we also took the time to open a present, check out the stockings, and get a little creative with our Christmas theme. This segment features short conversations with four of the twelve authors. You’ll find links to the PDI Adventure they took us on earlier in the year.

  Tammy Kaehler's Kate Reilly Racing Mysteries feature thrills on and off the track. Her fourth book, Red Flags, has just been released. You can learn more about Tammy directly from her website. Plus Tammy has graciously donated an autographed copy of her first Kate Reilly Racing Mystery, Dead Man's Switch for the May book giveaway. Sign up in the box on the right before May 31, 2016 to be entered to win. Speaking of Dead Man's Switch, we talk about how Tammy got the initial spark for the series. She gives a shout-out to Hallie Ephron, and if you want to know the name of the how-to book Hallie wrote, it's Writing and Selling Your Mystery Novel. But if you're into suspense, you should check out her fiction as well. We also talked about drivers who have helped her: Patrick Long, Oliver Gavin and Pippa Mann. Pippa's breast cancer awareness sponsorship for the Indy 500 mirrors a scenario Tammy came up with for Kate, who, in her books, has teamed up with Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Between the time we recorded this and now, Pippa did announce that she will once again be driving the pink car at the Indianapolis 500. Finally, Tammy talked about writers who have influenced her: Dick Francis, Agatha Christie, and a recent spark from Margaret Maron. I had a request to put series books in order, which I think is a brilliant idea, so here are Tammy's Kate Reilly Racing Mysteries, from first to most recent: 1 - Dead Man's Switch 2 - Braking Points 3 - Avoidable Contact 4 - Red Flags I will happily add more as Tammy writes 'em! Meanwhile, if you would rather read than listen to the interview, here is the transcript. Enjoy! -- Laura Transcript of Interview with Tammy Kaehler Welcome to Destination Mystery, a podcast for readers who love a good mystery. I'm Laura Brennan. Laura Brennan: My guest today is Tammy Kaehler, author of the Kate Reilly racing mysteries. Set in the fast-paced world of professional motorsports, the mysteries feature a racecar driver who happens to be a damn good amateur sleuth, as well as a woman proving herself in the male-dominated field of racing. Murder interweaves with the dramas on and off the track. The fourth book in the series, Red Flags, has just been released. Tammy, thank you for joining me. Tammy Kaehler: Thank you for having me. Glad to be here. LB: I want to talk about writing and I want to talk about Kate and Red Flags, but first I want to talk about racing. When did you become a racing fan? TK: It was 2004, and I can pinpoint that very clearly because I didn't know a single darn thing about racing before that year. Not a thing. I was working freelance at the time, and I had a contract with a subprime mortgage lending company and if you remember 2004, that was the heyday for such companies. They were making money hand over fist. And the one I was working for decided that the way they wanted to spend their marketing dollars that year, was sponsoring a racing series and racing team and then taking brokers and entertaining them at the races. So they did that, and they needed extra hands, and I went along to the season of races that year to help entertain, do the corporate marketing as such. And I learned about this fascinating sport sort of from the inside out because I was representing a VIP, I was a VIP, so I got VIP treatment and learned everything there was to know. And I walked into this world and just, like, my jaw dropped, it was fascinating and I thought, there are stories here and I want to tell other people about this crazy sport. LB: Well, your research, is, it must be intense. Because both your second and your third Kate Reilly books won back-to-back awards from the American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association. TK: Yes. LB: Yay! A) congratulations but, B) that must be the hardest nut to crack because they cover this, that's their world. TK: Yeah, yeah and really, I was so proud of those awards,

Hallie Ephron will be joining me to discuss the research behind her new psychological thriller, There Was An Old Woman. Scott Raab & I will discuss the Phil Spector trial & HBO Documentary.
