Book Nook: 'What the Neighbors Saw' by Melissa Adelman

"What the Neighbors Saw" by Melissa Adelman

Melissa Adelman just published her first novel and this is an impressive debut.

One of the great pleasures of interviewing authors is when I get the chance to talk to a writer who has just published that first book and we are able to talk about it on the day it comes out. That is such a thrilling thing to participate in. When I talked to Melissa Adelman about "What the Neighbors Saw" her sizzling new work of domestic suspense it was even sweeter. It is her first book. We talked the day the book came out. And it was her first radio interview for this novel! How fun is that?

Thanks to her publicist Hector DeJean for making it happen.
