Our guest this week, Ritu Mukerji, is a busy, full-time physician and a mother of 3, but she managed to find time to write her first novel, a recently published historical fiction mystery titled Murder by Degrees about a female physician in late 19th century Philadelphia. She was inspired by her love of the mystery genre as well as her experience living in Philadelphia while getting her medical degree where she would often visit places where female doctors had paved the way for other women to follow. We chat with Ritu about why physicians can make good detectives, and she shares some of her favorite mystery series and the recipe for her favorite Thanksgiving side dish that's been prepared in her family for over 30 years.

But now, here's Catherine. Introducing thriller author Catherine Lea Jenny Wheeler: Hello there, Catherine and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Catherine Lea: Thank you so much for having me. It's great to be there with you. Catherine Lea - Page-turning thriller writer Jenny Wheeler: It's wonderful, almost a novelty to have a fellow New Zealander. I don't deliberately choose or not choose Kiwis. I choose people who fit the books we're doing, but it's lovely to have somebody who's writing those books in New Zealand.  Catherine Lea: Thank you. That's why I decided to write the books in New Zealand. I've got some set in the States. When I started writing – I put my first book out in 2013 – somebody said, don't set them in New Zealand for goodness sake, nobody will ever read them. Set them in the States. So that's what I did. And of course, then the process began. I decided to set a politically based thriller and boy, their politics are quite different to ours. It was such a lot of research. I thought, you know what? I know far more about New Zealand. We have got such an amazing country, such diverse cultures, so much flavor, so much brilliance and the country is so beautiful. Why not set them here? Jenny Wheeler: To backtrack a bit, you write thrillers with heart, as your website says, and you have done several international page-turners. We will get to those a little later on because they are worth talking about, but your latest book, the one we're focusing on because it has just come out, is called The Water's Dead. It's a police procedural set in the far north of New Zealand where you live. Writing a police procedural a new game That is a bit of a change for you, and it's good to get in right at the beginning and talk a little bit about why you it made that.

“My book starts in my brain with me telling myself a story. And I choose not to write it down, as I'm thinking about it. Sometimes for months, sometimes even maybe for a couple of years. My feeling is that if I stop thinking about it, or stop daydreaming about the story, then it's died a natural death in my brain and shouldn't make it to the page.” Nine strangers, one determined detective and plenty of devious ways to die; Peter Swanson's latest whodunnit, Nine Lives, is a creepy, entertaining ride, and he joins us on the show to talk about Agatha Christie and Ruth Rendell and his other literary influences, Maine, trading poetry for crime fiction, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer.   Featured Books: Nine Lives by Peter Swanson Eight Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson   Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer, edited by David Eitel, and mixed by Harry Liang.

Remember Agatha Christie, P.D James, Ruth Rendell? Of course you do. I'm adding a new ‘Queen of Crime Fiction' to the list: Carol Wyer. Carol will probably blush at the comparison, (she's humble like that), but I'm adding her any way. When you read her work, I think you'll agree. Former teacher and linguist, Carol is a USA Today bestselling author and winner of The People's Book Prize Award. Her crime novels have sold over 1 million copies. January 2017, saw her move from humour to police procedurals with Little Girl Lost, the first in the DI Robyn Carter series. February 2021, saw the release of the first in the much-anticipated new series, featuring DI Kate Young. An Eye for an Eye was chosen as a Kindle First Reads and became the #1 bestselling book on Amazon UK and Amazon Australia. As well as writing crime, Carol also writes comedies because, as the ex-stand-up comedian claims, “Laughter is the best medicine”. But more than all the above, Carol is a fabulously generous and kind soul. When we were little more than ‘twitter colleagues', I reached out to her for some editing advice on my own book, How to be a Buddhist Millionaire. She was incredibly supportive. I loved every second of this interview and am grateful to Carol for finding the time to speak to us. As ever, I hope you enjoy this episode. Please take the time to share it with someone you think might benefit. Until next time. Lots of love. Matt and the team x

Dream Girl: By Laura Lippman Website: https://gobookmart.com "With this tip of the hat to Stephen King's Misery, Dream Girl is funny and suspenseful, with a dread-worthy final twist." -- People “My dream novel. I devoured this in three days. The sharpest, clearest-eyed take on our #MeToo reckoning yet. Plus: enthralling." -- Megan Abbott, Edgar Award-winning author of Dare Me and The Fever "Perceptive, often amusing insights into a writer's mind make this a standout. Lippman is in top form for this enticingly witty, multilayered guessing game." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Lippman never stops twisting the plot into a deliciously intricate pretzel, right up to the jaw-dropping finale. This is both a beguiling look at the mysteries of authorship and a powerful #MeToo novel, but that's only the tip of a devilishly jagged iceberg..." -- Booklist (starred review) "Lippman (Lady in the Lake) nods at Stephen King and Alfred Hitchcock in this hair-raising tale, but makes it wholly hers and completely riveting. She conveys the horror of being housebound and reliant on strangers, as well as the fear of losing one's mind. It's a page-turning, plot-twisting masterpiece." -- Library Journal (starred review) “The closest writer America has to Ruth Rendell.... What makes this book special, even extraordinary, is that the crossword puzzle aspect is secondary...[Lady in the Lake] reflects the gulf which then existed between what women were expected to be and what they aspired to be.” -- Stephen King, New York Times Book Review, on The Lady in the Lake “Don't miss this novel.” -- Anna Quindlen, New York Times bestselling author, on The Lady in the Lake “A cavalcade of narrators—including Cleo's ghost, who wants Maddie to stop poking into her world—and Lippman's expert storytelling bring the city's tensions wondrously to life.” -- People on The Lady in the Lake “Inspired by the unsolved death of Shirley Parker... Lippman's ambitious novel weaves some twenty points of view into a seamless, vivid whole. The novel demonstrates that Lippman, a former Baltimore Sun reporter, is both a skilled journalist and a masterful novelist.” -- Washington Post on The Lady in the Lake --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Prominent book editor-turned-author, Peter Guzzardi, spent some time with me this week to discuss how he pulled back the curtain on the writer's life, finding courage in front of the blank screen, and important lessons from the Yellow Brick Road for creatives. "One thing I love about this work is the variety. I’ve edited novels by authors as different as Ruth Rendell and Martin Amis, memoirs by Tony Curtis...and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar..." – Peter Guzzardi Peter has been a professional book editor for nearly 40 years. After getting his start in marketing, writing catalog copy in New York City, he moved to the editorial side where he eventually took the reins at Harmony Books, an imprint of Random House, Inc. Mr. Guzzardi has worked with some incredibly talented authors over the years, including Stephen Hawking on A Brief History of Time, Deepak Chopra on dozens of books, Douglas Adams on his Hitchhiker novels, Carol Burnett, Martin Amis, Arianna Huffington, and even Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Like so many aspiring writers who "swear they're going to finally write that book," Peter decided to throw his hat in the ring and write about the wisdom he'd accumulated on his own journey. The result of that hard work is his recently published Emeralds of Oz: Life Lessons From Over the Rainbow, an apropos title for 2019, the 80th anniversary of the film classic, The Wizard of Oz. Emeralds of Oz is a book in the "...tradition of All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten ... life lessons drawn from the most beloved movie of all time," and Carol Burnett said, "I loved this book as much as I loved the movie."

Behöver en bok vara trovärdig för att vara bra? Till vår hjälp har vi författaren Gabriella Ullberg Westin som pratar om hur det är att skriva en trovärdig deckare och hur hon gör research för sina böcker. Böcker det pratas om i podden är: "Det var vi som var Mulvaneys" av Joyce Carol Oates, "Station K" av Peter Stjernström, "The Organized Mind" av Daniel Levitin, "Staden" av Camilla Sten, "Allt jag fått lära mig" av Tara Westover, "De oroliga" av Linn Ullman, "Daisy Jones and The six" av Taylor Jenkins Reid, "Kärlekens Antarktis" av Sara Stridsberg, "Never let me go" av Kazuo Ishiguro, "Världarnas krig" av H G Wells, "8" av Dustin Lance Black, "Flickan från ingenstans" av Justin Cronin, "Hur jag lärde mig att förstå världen" av Hans Rosling och Fanny Härgestam, "De odödliga" av Chloe Benjamin, "A Judgement in Stone" av Ruth Rendell, "Förrädaren" av Gabriella Ullberg Westin See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
