Interview with Sara DiVello - BROADWAY BUTTERFLY

In this interview, Sara and I discuss Broadway Butterfly, how it took her nine years to research this book, deciding what to include and what not to include, building the tension as the story progresses, her stunning cover, Mystery & Thriller Mavens, and much more.

Sara's recommended reads are:

The Puzzle Master by Danielle Trussoni
The Leftover Woman by Jean Kwok
After That Night by Karin Slaughter
A Likable Woman by May Cobb
