What are You Reading? What are You Writing? ep. 355 with Kasey Landsdale
What begins as one unsolved murder may be something much more disturbing.
Kasey Lansdale returns to What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing? to celebrate a milestone: the publication of her debut novel, First Chance, a suspenseful mystery introducing private investigator Chance Kirby.
Determined to step out of her family's shadow and build a life of her own, Chance opens a PI agency in Hopeful, Texas. She expects missing heirlooms and marital disputes. Instead, the cold case of a murdered teenage girl lands on her doorstep. As Chance investigates with help from her adopted sister Tia, her loyal dog Sissy, and police chief Isabella Lopez, she begins to wonder whether she's investigating a single murder—or a predator who has escaped detection for decades.
Award-winning author Karen E. Osborne talks with Kasey about creating Chance and the supporting characters readers will meet again as the series continues, the premise behind First Chance, and the role music plays in both Kasey's life and the novel.
They also discuss what it's like pursuing her own creative identity as part of a well-known artistic family, the Spotify playlist Kasey created to accompany the book, what's ahead for the series, and books worth adding to your TBR.
Watch or listen and meet Chance Kirby—a new private investigator with an old murder to solve and a disturbing mystery that may be far bigger than anyone imagined.
