126: Kate Racculia (TUESDAY MOONEY TALKS TO GHOSTS) and Ling Ma's SEVERANCE

In This Episode:

Kate Racculia stops into the Damn Library and she brings lots of laughter. We talk about how her new novel is her Indiana Jones novel, and how it's a Westing Game novel too, and maybe a couple other novels to boot. The details of Boston and creating her own Holmes character are also up for discussion. Plus, all three talk about details of Ling Ma's Severance with reverence.
