Episode 201: March Madness
Podcast in Death
In this episode we once again have as our guest, author Judy Kentrus!
We start off this show by talking (again) about the controversy surrounding “Faithless in Death” and accusations of “Christian Bashing.” As we point out, when you use a Kindle or other device to search for phrases like “Christian” or “Conservative,” you won’t find it there. So how is it that some people are concluding that the cult in this book are Christians??

AJ did a little bit of research also, and found a couple of great stories about “Lady Marshalls” in the late 1800’s in America. Click here to see read those stories.
For further research on lady “cops” of the old west, see these links:
Kate Warne, First Female Pinkerton
F.M. Miller, Female Deputy Marshall
Phoebe Couzins – First Female U.S. Marshal
Marie Owens First US Female Police Officer
We also imagine what it might be like if Eve and Roarke were pirates. Although, we decide Eve would most likely be a Privateer, and Roarke would be a Pirate.
Also: Judy answers our fan questions!
Faithless in Death was a book that deals with some really heavy subjects, and pushes some political hot buttons during a time when people are extra sensitive at having their […]
