Listen in on our conversation with author Katherine Bolger Hyde as we discuss her latest book, “The Vestibule of Heaven”, which features a living narrator, a dead narrator, and house that is so alive it becomes a character of its own.

We discuss:

  1. The real-life inspiration behind this storybook house and how the setting is holistically interwoven with the character arcs;

  2. The powerful effect of including real tragedy and a sublime resolution within a cozy detective novel; and

  3. How Katherine includes elements of her faith in a realistic and contextualized manner that avoids saccharine tropes.

Listen along, and if you haven’t yet read “The Vestibule of Heaven”, do yourself a favor and go read it! It was so good I couldn’t put it down, even on a beach vacation.
