Blending Noir and Cozy Genres with Dennis Feece

Author Dennis Feece returns to Mysterious Goings On to discuss his latest book, Of Towers and Shadows, which follows private investigator TB Stone as he tracks down a stalker and confronts a mysterious cult-like group. This installment takes on a darker tone and presents higher stakes than its predecessor. In our conversation, we also touch on Robert B. Parker's influence on Feece's writing, the use of first-person narration, and the inspiration behind the Italian cooking references in the book. Feece describes Of Towers and Shadows as a darker continuation of his previous novel, Love, Pride, and Murder. We explore themes of romance, idealized characters, and the blending of noir and cozy genres. Feece also discusses the development of his protagonist, TB Stone, delving into the exploration of his darker side in this new book. The conversation concludes with insights into future books in the series. Tune in!
