Connie Berry unpacks A Grave Deception in Ep. 27 of My Bookcase Slays

Former archaeology student and lifetime history buff Connie Berry writes a range of contemporary historic mysteries (Contemporary-historic, how’s that for an oxymoron?) set  in various time periods, and sometimes she even blends the eras together. In our interview she digs into the backstory of her protagonist in the Kate Hamilton Mystery Series. Kate Hamilton’s my favorite type of amateur sleuth and I’m addicted to these mysteries. Kate’s smart, capable, doesn’t meddle too much, and respects the boundaries between civilians and police. Her sidekick, Ivor, is one of the most charming and bizarre sidekicks I’ve come across in a while, too. Connie shares how she plausibly plots twisty, complicated books and schools me on the real life medieval plague victim behind her latest work. BONUS: Connie reveals the inspiration of her new project, a historical figure so strange and eerie, I’m including a link so you can learn more about Sarah Hare.
