JERI WESTERSON: I like to mix up the styles of the books I write, while still keeping it a medieval mystery. MYSTERYPEOPLE: How did this particular story develop? How would you summarize it to our readers? There’s a character in the book trying to make alchemy work. Jeri was nice enough to let me interview her again, including patiently explaining what was so exciting about alchemy. This fall from grace gives an opportunity to talk about class and changes in one’s life. I became a fan of Westerson and her Crispin Guest series a few books ago and have been promoting and publicizing her with each book since, including Troubled Bones and Blood Lance.Ĭrispin Guest is a detective of sorts during the medieval era, a man who was previously a knight. We have here an author writing about a male protagonist’s adventures in 14th century London. With Shadow of the Alchemist out this week, Jeri Westerson has written another thriller in a genre she calls “Medieval Noir” that is fascinating and fun to read.
