For this episode, we’re taking a trip to the town of Cedar Plains, just a quiet place where not a lot happens…except for murder….a lot of it. Joining me is author Maggie Giles for her soon-to-be-released novel, “The Art of Murder.”

Maggie talks about the town of Cedar Plains, the real-life inspiration behind its creation and how the murders rock the quiet community. She shares the dichotomy of main characters Courtney Faith and Alexa Huston and how one accidental murder takes Alexa down a dark path. One theme of the book is if murder can be justified if it targets the deserving, and we talk about how this helps shape the story.
