In this company town, no one can be trusted, and everyone has something to hide.

That’s what Unladylike’s Cristen Conger is doing with her new show Conspiracy, She Wrote.

🎧 From Steve Silverman, host of the podcast World Gone Good, comes a book! The cozy comedy mystery Murder Unmasked is up on both Barnes & Noble and Amazon sites. It’s fun new fictional murder-y tale with Hueby, the deceased dog narrator.
