Hi, Inga,

Thanks for posting. I’m pleased to hear that you’ve chosen NOTORIOUS for your April book club.

Right now, there is no list of topic discussions for the book. I’ll certainly put it on my blog if the publisher comes up with one. But the book itself suggests a good one: the setting is an island in the middle of the St. Clair River. The place is half American (Michigan) and half Canadian (Ontario) and deals with the peculiarity of  crossing the street and an international border at the same time. I won’t go on to spoil the story for you, but it involves gangster gold, old tales of 1920’s rum-running, and an unlikely friendship between a Canadian girl and an American boy. And, oh yes, it’s also about the murder of a large obnoxious dog.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
