Perfect day in Brooklyn. Had a great time sharing a stage with Andrea Bartz & &@blacklionking73. Hope we get to run it back years to come!

End of summer, on the lake, with Eli Cranor. What could be better?

Look at this beauty. Wonderful.

'Fabulous characters and dialogue so sharp, you’re going to be cutting your fingers whipping through the pages' Brad Thor recs THE STOLEN COAST by Dwyer Murphy on TODAY out now from Viking Books

Smart play here is to scoop up ONE FALSE MOVE and LEAVE HER TO HEAVEN, then you get, for the price of one great movie, William Boyle on neo-noir and Megan Abbott on Gene Tierney’s technicolor eyes.

Miami! I'll be in my favorite spot next week, 8/3 @ 7pm: Books & Books, talking The Stolen Coast and my two favorite scenes in the book, which both involve Miami detours and pollo a la brasa. Who doesn't look a bookshop with a courtyard mojito?

For me, Clark and Division is one of the best crime novels in recent memory. What a great book club pick. And an insightful Naomi Hirahara profile from Sarah Weinman (sarahweinman.bsky.social) to round out the package. California has great taste.

Prolific #Florida author John D. MacDonald, creator of battered knight-errant Travis McGee, was born #OTD in 1916. He slipped a lot of enviro messages into his fiction. I wrote about that for @crimereads. crimereads.com/john-d-macdona…

It's a very good morning when you find yourself on a list sandwiched in between Megan Abbott, S.A.Cosby, colson whitehead, Dennis Lehane, Andrea Bartz, Ivy Pochoda, Eli Cranor and Dwyer Murphy

Thanks for the nod to THE EDEN TEST Tertulia

This one was a special thrill. I’ve been listening to Fresh Air the better part of my life. Thanks to Maureen Corrigan for a very generous review.

See what we’re wearing? After Dwyer Murphy ‘s fab event at @newtonville_books where I got to ask abt his brilliant THE STOLEN COAST: plot twist! It began to rain. Torrential, w/lightning & thunder. How to leave? Genius owner Mary Cotton doled out… Trash bags!

This couldn’t have been more fun, and all thanks to Hank (ONE WRONG WORD is here!) Phillippi Ryan and the incredible team at Newtonville Books. It was good to be home.

Oh, #writerscommunity don't miss this!

Very much looking forward to chatting all things heist and neo-noir tomorrow (Tuesday) night at Mysterious Bookshop with Olivia Rutigliano/@oliviarutigliano.bsky.social. By the end of the hour we’ll have robbed somebody blind. But first we’re gonna need a a wheel man & an Ella Fitzgerald.

So grateful for this generous, thoughtful review of The Stolen Coast. I’m going on an absolute bender of chatty 1990s neo-noirs to celebrate over the weekend.

Dwyer Murphy’s new novel, “The Stolen Coast,” is a twisty heist yarn involving rough diamonds, crooked lawyers and a town full of people who don’t want to be found. nyti.ms/3PXdbT1
