Marie Benedict, THE QUEENS OF CRIME: A Novel

New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict returns to the podcast to discuss THE QUEENS OF CRIME, a smart, biting, page-turning delight about the lengths to which five talented women writers (including Agatha Christie and Dorothy L. Sawyers) will go to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of letters—and how they solve a mystery torn from the pages of their own novels. Marie explains how these real-life literary icons banded together to solve an actual murder, delving into the masks women must wear to survive… Then, she teases her next book, which explores ancient Egypt, archaeology, and a forgotten female pharaoh.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/41lJcsaShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!** Want more?
