Mark McNease Mysteries Podcast #35: 6 Chapter Sample of ‘Black Cat White Paws: A Maggie Dahl Mystery,’ Narrated by Holly Palance


Welcome to the first Mark McNease Mysteries Podcast of 2022! I’m finishing up the second mystery in the Maggie Dahl series, ‘Open Secrets,’ and should have that out by the spring. In the meantime, enjoy a 6 chapter audiobook sample of the first book. ‘Black Cat White Paws‘ was narrated by the fabulous Holly Palance, and if I decide to do an audiobook of the new one, she’s the only choice for it. You can hear my interview with Holly on the One Thing or Another podcast HERE.

About Black Cat White Paws

In Black Cat White Paws, recently widowed Maggie Dahl finds herself faced with challenges on all fronts: life alone in a new town, running a business she and her husband had dreamed of and started together, and now pursuing a killer. Her sister, Gerri, moves from Philadelphia to Lambertville, New Jersey, to support her sister and start a new life of her own. Together, the women search for a murderer, helped in critical ways by their neighbor’s cat. A black cat with white paws. A cat whose independence sets it all in motion and sees it through to the end.

Black Cat White Paws finds Maggie moving from New York City to Lambertville, an idyllic river town with artists, restaurants, incredible landscapes, and enough local characters to populate a murder mystery. Join Maggie, Gerri, Checks the cat, and a cast of colorful small town natives just as eager – and as shocked – to find a killer in their midst.

About Holly Palance

Born into an acting family where breakfast table monologues, musical numbers and one arm pushups were normal (!), Holly left to train at the Webber-Douglas Academy in London spending eight years trodding the boards playing starring roles in productions of Shakespeare, Tennessee Williams, LeRoi Jones and Brecht at top regional theatres and London’s West End and appeared in multiple ITV/BBC productions. Her fondest memories of that time— being talked off the stage-fright ledge in Malta by fellow actor and great friend, Julian Fellowes and making a big splash, literally, on the windshield of Gregory Peck’s limo in The Omen!
