Author Laura Lippman's 29th or 30th novel, depending how you count, is 'Murder Takes a Vacation': a cozy mystery that follows a plus-sized Baltimore widow in her late 60s who is breaking out of her shell… at the same time she becomes the target of ruthless international criminals. She spoke with Sheilah Kast about it in June.

Sheilah Kast is the host of On The Record, Monday-Friday, 9:30-10:00 am.
Ashley Sterner is the co-host of WYPR’s On The Record. With co-host Sheilah Kast, Ashley interviews artists, scientists, community leaders, and others.
