In this week’s episode of The Bookshop at the End of the Internet, author Claire Matturro discusses her latest novel, The Smuggler’s Daughter. It is a crime thriller set on the Gulf Coast of Florida, which is Claire’s home state and a place that she readily admits is rich for crime fiction. The Smuggler’s Daughter is a twisting, turning game of cat and mouse, complete with a world-weary detective and plenty of murder. The novel is inspired by real-life events that took place in Florida in the late 1970’s involving a drug smuggling ring that lead to several murders where the bodies were buried in a sink hole. In this episode, I’ll chat with Claire about her writing journey, why she doesn’t think she could set a book as effectively in any place other than Florida, and the crucial role her brother played in the creation of The Smuggler’s Daughter.
