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!
