Pamela Fagan Hutchins in conversation on Crime & Wine with Tonya Kappes Books about book 1 in her new Maisie Dobbs Mystery Series, SLEIGHT OF HAND. From Book 1: Maisie Doss knew the weight of secrets all too well. Once a troublemaker in her small Kentucky town near Cincinnati, she struck a dangerous bargain to become a confidential informant for the police. But when betrayal led her to send a family member behind bars, the lines between right and wrong blurred. Unable to bear the weight of her actions, she fled into the secluded heart of Appalachia, praying her past wouldn't catch up. For a time, the hills kept her secrets. Determined to atone, she tried to lead a quiet life, but old habits die hard. When Maisie stumbles upon a mystery that begs her attention, she can't resist diving in. Yet, this isn't just any crime; it's tangled with threads from her concealed past. And as fate would have it, a detective from her old life discovers her hidden refuge. Now, he presents her with a chilling ultimatum: Return to her role as a CI and face the ghosts of her past or find herself behind bars. In a game of cat and mouse, where trust is a luxury Maisie can't afford, she must use every sleight of hand she knows to outwit the law, uncover the truth, and keep her freedom. From Tonya Kappes, the Queen of Southern Charm and Whimsical Whodunits... Immerse yourself in the allure of the South, where the tea is sweet, the mysteries are deep, and the humor is downright sinful. Tonya Kappes, celebrated for her delightful mix of southern charm, captivating mysteries, and wickedly funny humor, introduces a brand-new amateur sleuth that's bound to become a reader favorite. Dive into the Maisie Doss Mysteries and get ready for a roller coaster of emotions, suspense, and laughter. If you've loved her previous series, this new addition promises all the signature Kappes charm and then some. Join Maisie as she dances on the edge of danger and digs deep into the heart of the South's most intriguing crimes. It's a journey you won't want to miss!

We have a Christmas special for Bad Book Bash! Join Keego, Alex Byrne, and Betsy as we review “The Italian’s Christmas Housekeeper”. This book was picked because of the hilarious description on the back, starting with this line:“Shy Housekeeper Molly Miller always tries her best.”Molly is an English maid who meets Italian billionaire Salvio De Gennaro, who has only two personality traits: being rich and being from Naples. Him and Molly fall for each other through a story cascade featuring emotional abuse, gaslighting, manipulation, and body shaming.If you want to hear a heartwarming Christmas romance, this is not the book for you. This book will make you want to throw yourself into the yuletide fire. But hey I’m sure it’s better than whatever family bullshit you’ve got going on this year, so give it a listen anyways 🙂
