When Maggie Lee — the heroine of JB Lynn's novel— THE HITWOMAN AND THE FAMILY JEWELS — is asked by her mob boss employer to kill a cop, she wants to say no—especially when she finds out the cop in question is someone she once dated—
Until that former date—Patrick Mulligan, whom she still cares about—tries to kill her too.
JB and I talk about her wild-and-crazy cast of characters—mobsters and off-the-wall-family to boot, including a prison escapee father; JB also explains how Maggie's menagerie —a talking lizard, a grumpy cat, and a primadonna Doberman—make a fitting conscience for this accidental hitwoman. We also discuss the joys and challenges of writing a long-running mystery series with a beloved lead character.
JB Lynn's mystery, THE HITWOMAN AND THE FAMILY JEWELS, is free now at your favorite digital bookstore.
