Introducing Public Comment (Tucker DS
Press), a satiric murder mystery set in small-town Connecticut that features an antagonist who will remind readers of someone we see daily on our TV screens... one with a tremendous penchant for burying bodies beneath golf courses.
"Indeed, Wendell, the plot, and the story’s satiric elements were spawned by a certain (sur)real-life figure," S.L. tells us in a fun and informative Q&A you can find in full on our blog.
"[But] the grotesqueries we associate with satire are currently sourced from the very place that used to be the target ... [Public Comment's] satiric elements teeter not on exaggeration, but on the edge of the daily news
cycle."
That's part of what makes it such a fun read -- it's a small-town murder mystery but spoofs a world leader. And showcases the charm of a cozy mystery but with F bombs and blood (and one wild, wild sex scene).
Not only was Public Comment a Killer Nashville Claymore finalist, but it won WBN's 2024 "Best First Line" contest with this gem:
"Wendell's first murder was just a rehearsal."
