23 ENE. 2024 · Edwin Hill
Show Notes
Today we talk with Edwin Hill about his book Who To Believe. It will release today from Kensington
Books.
Monreith, Massachusetts, was once a small community of whalers and farmers. These days it’s a well-to-do
town filled with commuters drawn to its rugged coastline and country roads. A peaceful, predictable place—
until popular restaurateur Laurel Thibodeau is found brutally murdered in her own home. Suspicion naturally
falls on Laurel’s husband, Simon, who had gambling debts that only her life insurance policy could fix. But
there are other rumors too . . .
Among the group of six friends gathered for Alice Stone’s fortieth birthday, theories abound concerning
Laurel’s death. Max Barbosa, police chief, has heard plenty of them, as has his longtime friend, Unitarian
minister Georgia Fitzhugh. Local psychiatrist Farley Drake is privy to even more, gleaning snippets of gossip
and information from his patients while closely guarding his own past.
But maybe everyone in Monreith has something to hide. Because before this late-summer evening has come
to a close, one of these six will be dead. And as jealousy, revenge, adultery, and greed converge, the
question becomes not who among these friends might be capable of such a thing, but—who isn’t?

9 ENE. 2024 · David Simmons
Ghosts of E#ast Baltimore
Show Notes
On the first official episode of 2024, we talked with David Simmons about his book “Ghosts of East
Baltimore.: David was delightful. Worm, fresh out of jail, tries to make a little money to get back on his feet,
and make it back to the halfway house before his 9 pm curfew. But what should be a simple drop-off, spirals
into a nightmare. Worm is faced with a number of obstacles like Greek gangsters, gimps, mecha suits, wild
drugs, and more. This feels like the perfect cross-genre book written for me especially with the clone
conspiracy theory sprinkled in.
Ghosts of East Baltimore is a wild ride and the perfect mix of elegant yet literary cosmic hood horror with
textured prose that not many could pull off. Rich with history, and a deep-seated love for Baltimore, this is a
fantastic crime fiction debut.
TRIVIA

one that paid homage to a past president. Which one?
a. Nixon

Each story in the anthology focused on one conspiracy theory as a means to "Riff on it, take it apart and turn it
on its head, and give the reader a thrill ride of weirdo, noirish, pulpy goodness
