And we’re off! Welcome to the Mark McNease Mysteries Podcast. This is the first of many coming episodes in which I narrate my own mysteries and short fiction. What better way to launch this venture than with the first three chapters of my newest book, Reservation for Murder: A Kyle Callahan Mystery.
It’s been several years since we last saw Kyle and his husband Danny. In the last book, Kill Switch, Kyle forced himself into therapy to deal with having almost been killed by one of the most diabolical serial killers New York City has ever seen. (I won’t say more on that, since I plan on narrating Kill Switch next and you’ll have to wait to find out those terrifying details).
So much has changed since then, and Kyle and Danny decide to embark on the next chapter in their lives. They open a bed and breakfast in Lambertville, New Jersey, and say goodbye to the Big Apple. There’s a writers convention in town, the B & B is booked up, and everything appears to be going well … until murder checks in. Fasten your headphones and enjoy the listen as I narrate the first three chapters of Reservation for Murder. I’ll be releasing one podcast (three chapters) each week, for a total of 56 chapters. So click ‘play,’ close your eyes, and let’s take a ride on the mystery train.
It’s been several years since Kyle Callahan sought the help of a New York City therapist to overcome the trauma of his encounter with a serial killer, and just as long since his investigation into a teenage girl’s murder brought down the Manhattan District Attorney. He and his husband Danny Durban have decided to move away, to start a new life in the idyllic river city of Lambertville, New Jersey. They have friends there. They’ll have peace and quiet. They can leave the hustle and bustle and stresses of America’s biggest metropolis behind.
They open a bed and breakfast, and soon discover that murder and mayhem are waiting to check in. There’s a writers conference in town, with big names and big egos heading for a clash—and a killing—of titans. No sooner has the ink dried on the guest registry than Kyle finds himself pursuing another murderer, this one closer to home than they’ve ever come. He enlists the help of his old friend and local resident Linda Sikorsky, once a detective on the New Hope, Pennsylvania, police force. The two of them follow one lead after another in a race against time until the shocking truth is exposed.
