    MMB Presents...A Conversation with Tom Mead

    Episode #29: A Conversation with Tom Mead (Feb. 18, 2024) The author of the Joseph Spector series talks with Bill Peschel about the different inspirations he derived from the mystery writers who defined the Golden Age of Detection.

As you may have noticed, this episode is listed as being Part 1, since we are looking forward to bringing Mr. Mead back for another segment when his newest release hits shelves this Summer.
