I am Planta: On the Line, in Vancouver, British Columbia, at TheCommentary.ca.

One of the more popular mystery series is out with their third book. Princess of the Savoy: A Priscilla Tempest Mystery, Book 3 is the latest installment from authors Ron Base and Prudence Emery. Ron Base joins me now. Set in the swinging Sixties, we’re back at London’s Savoy Hotel, as Priscilla Tempest, the hotel’s publicist turned amateur sleuth finds herself in the heart of another thriller. And if you’re like me, and haven’t read the first two, you need not have, because as I’ve started it, they’re easy to get into engaging, fun and gripping. There’s glamour, danger, as well as international intrigue. I’ve haven’t quite finished the book, but it promises a lot of excitement, a murder or two, a fascist plot, threats from an American gangster, and a lot of old time Hollywood. I’ll ask Mr. Base about this new book, this series, and working with Miss Emery, who was the press and public relations officer at the Savoy Hotel. Ron Base is a former newspaper and magazine journalist and movie critic. His works include twenty novels, two novellas, and four non-fiction books. Visit www.ronbase.com for more. He lives in Milton, Ontario, but he joined me whilst on vacation in the South of France last month. This new book is published by Douglas & McIntyre. Please welcome to the Planta: On the Line program, Ron Base; Mr. Base, good morning.
