Murder in the Lab: Inside The Botanist’s Assistant With Peggy Townsend

In this episode, I’m joined by award-winning author and journalist Peggy Townsend to talk about her sharp, heartfelt, and wonderful new mystery, The Botanist’s Assistant.

In The Botanist’s Assistant, we meet Margaret Finch—six feet tall, fiercely organized, lover of schedules, and proud inhabitant of a tiny cabin in the woods. Her obsessive attention to detail makes her indispensable in her university botany lab… and it may also put a target on her back when she decides a recent death is no accident.

Peggy and I discuss the inspiration behind The Botanist’s Assistant, the fun four-legged character and her unusual book reviewers on her Instagram page. Hint—they like to review books from their Hen House!
