Plum Island, a John Cabbage Novel - Show Notes


Charlotte and Laura are solving a mystery with John Corey on this week's episode of The Lettuce Podcast. They're discussing Nelson DeMille's Plum Island, the first in the John Corey mystery series. Charlotte moderates this episode and helps Laura understand John Corey's bold personality, which leads to their most heated debate yet! They discuss John's non-PC attitude, his detective skills, how his various relationships affect him, and much more. In addition to discussing the main character, Charlotte shares why she loves both Detective Beth Penrose and the treasure hunting aspect of the novel. Laura wonders how many of the book's characters will change over the course of the series, and shares whether she's excited for more. The girls also discuss how Plum Island measures up as a murder mystery, which plot points left them confused, and what left them wanting more. Does John Corey's abrasive personality make him charming or offensive? Is the attraction between John and Beth believable? And how the hell did John drive a speed boat through a hurricane and survive? All these questions and more are discussed in this week's brand new episode!


Charlotte starts out the Fun & Games segment with a set of Madlibs she made especially for Laura. Next, the girls do a little Dream Casting where they discuss which actors should play the characters in Plum Island.

 This week's podtails were truly inspired by the topic. Charlotte followed in the footsteps of the vintner Frederick Tobin and enjoyed a glass of wine. Laura celebrated the novel's setting with a Long Island Iced Tea!
