    Castle Talk: Libby Cudmore, author of the new mystery thriller NEGATIVE GIRL
    Sep 11 2024
    Tonight we’re chatting with Libby Cudmore, whose neo-noir thriller NEGATIVE GIRL comes out this month, September 10 from Datura Books. S.A. Cosby called it "fantastic" and “…a sharp subversive exploration of the PI novel that elevates the genre while never sacrificing the thrills." Libby is a Shamus and Black Orchid award winner and author of the acclaimed novel The Big Rewind. Her Wade and Jacks stories have appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine, Tough and the Anthony-nominated anthology Lawyers, Guns & Money: Crime Fiction Inspired by The Music of Warren Zevon (co-edited with Art Taylor). She is also the current co-host of the OST Party and Misbehavin' podcasts and the creator and host of the #RecordSaturday live-tween series, spinning an array of old and new vinyl in a weekly interactive conversation.
    About the book: Upstate New York. Former rock star, recovering addict and now private investigator, Martin Wade, and his assistant, Valerie Jacks, are hired by a young woman who wants them to deliver a warning to her overbearing father. But neither realize their new client’s father is an old bandmate of Martin’s. A man still burdened with regret at being thrown out of Martin’s group, The French Letters, almost two decades before. When their young client is found dead on a riverbank, duty, nostalgia and a lifetime of guilt find Martin and Valerie on the case, searching for the young woman’s killer. As the mystery begins to unravel, Martin struggles to hold onto his sobriety while Valerie becomes increasingly obsessed with their murdered client – finding correlation in the secrets, and the scars they’ve all tried to hide.
