A Conversation About “The Mysterious Affair at the Met”

Apr 30, 2024 | Interview

I’m thrilled to share this video interview where I discuss my latest novel, “The Mysterious Affair at the Met,” the fourth book in my Priscilla series.

For those unfamiliar, the Priscilla series follows the captivating journey of a self-assured young black American woman who consistently finds herself at the center of thrilling and often perilous adventures. In “The Mysterious Affair at the Met,” we witness a departure from the usual high-stakes chases and perilous escapes that have become synonymous with Priscilla’s exploits.

This time, Priscilla’s renowned public relations firm is called upon to assist the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art in navigating a potential scandal that threatens to tarnish its impeccable reputation. It’s a fascinating shift in the narrative, allowing readers to experience Priscilla’s ingenuity and resourcefulness in a new light. Instead of evading danger, she’s strategically employing her sharp intellect and keen understanding of public perception to solve a complex mystery and safeguard the museum’s standing within the cultural landscape.

Writing “The Mysterious Affair at the Met” was an incredibly rewarding experience. It presented a unique opportunity to delve deeper into themes that have always resonated with me – exploring the intricate interplay of race, gender, identity, and social justice within the context of a compelling and suspenseful narrative.

I believe that fiction has the power to not only entertain but also to provoke thought and spark meaningful conversations about the world around us. “The Mysterious Affair at the Met” is a testament to this belief, weaving together an engaging plot with thought-provoking social commentary.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into the world of “The Mysterious Affair at the Met” and the captivating mind of Priscilla.
