Gillian PorterHOST
I mean, I love the fact that she described her as this drippy-looking woman in the corner that nobody notices, but she wrote incisive plays that were very popular.
Gillian PorterHOST
And I was also gonna say Josephine Tey, again, not her real name, she used a male name for her plays around the same time, or maybe a little bit later.
Gillian PorterHOST
No, it was around the same time.
Alan PorterHOST
Yeah.
Cara InfanteHOST
[laughs]
Katherine ReayGUEST
... then the reader would've been like, "Uh-uh, Tepper did not read that book." So I had to be careful about my dates, but, you know, I got most of the Queens of Crime in there, uh, Josephine Tey, some of her early works in there.
Katherine ReayGUEST
And when I do research a book, I go all in.
Cara InfanteHOST
Okay.
12 MINS LATER
Katherine ReayGUEST
Okay.
Katherine ReayGUEST
So I, I chose these books because I read them while researching, and I do think, you know, we t- we all can look at The New York Times list, we can look at the USA Today list, and we know what's popular today, but I think these books deserve a shout-out.
Katherine ReayGUEST
Um, so I've got here Josephine Tey's A Shilling for Candles.
Cara InfanteHOST
Okay.
Vanessa SalemiHOST
Mm.
Audrey NiffeneggerGUEST
I mean, some of my literary heroes are detective writers, uh, people like Dorothy Sayers, Josephine Tey, um, just really old school, um, writers of detective fiction.
Audrey NiffeneggerGUEST
It's such an interesting genre, and people have done so much with it recently and really expanded it.
Audrey NiffeneggerGUEST
Um, it's become almost all-encompassing.
