The Girl on the Boat with Ansley Ashe

Ian is joined by author Ansley Ashe to discuss The Girl on the Boat (1922), AKA Three Men and A Maid. Ansley Ashe is making a transition from wrestling/soccer mom, soccer coach, and library trustee to full fledged novelist. She has loved mysteries since she was a little girl, so when it came time to choose a genre, mystery was a natural fit. She loves everything between Sherlock Holmes and Mickey Haller aka the Lincoln Lawyer. She is reading her way through Agatha Christie and Anne Perry and read her first Wodehouse just for this podcast, now she will have to add him to her TBR list. Last year she published a series of holiday themed novelettes based on a young, female detective Charlotte "Charlie" Snow, with several novels still to come in the series. You can keep up with her on her SubstackThere will be plot spoilers. Next month: The Adventures of Sally with Sarah Humphrey.You can e-mail me at [email protected]. Help keep the Good Ship Wodehousekeeping afloat ko-fi.com/wodehousekeeping. Our Bluesky and FacebookReference works consultedN.
