More than 20 years ago, I had Amy Bloom appear on the show to discuss a couple
of her story collections. She continues to publish amazing books, and I
was finally able to arrange another interview with her for a most
unusual project, her first crime novel. "Blunt Instrument" is a private
eye novel and is truly a delightful read. Bloom puts her own spin on the
genre while still adhering to some of the plotting devices fans of
mysteries might expect. I thought it was hilarious, a real gas to read.
