New Novel by Janet Evanovich Set in Marblehead
The latest novel by bestselling author Janet Evanovich, titled "Wicked Appetite," and set in Salem and
Marblehead, hit bookstores Tuesday.
Evanovich's books, including the 20 titles in the "Stephanie Plum" mystery series, have sold more than 75
million copies worldwide. "Wicked Appetite" is the first book in the "Unmentionable Series."
In her latest effort, the narrator is a woman named Lizzy Tucker, a chef from New York City who moves to
Marblehead after her aunt dies and leaves her a house.
Lizzy goes to work at a Salem bakery, when she stumbles into a mystery involving ancient artifacts called
the Seven Stones of Power, one for each of the seven deadly sins. Two strange men appear in her life who
are seeking the stones, and looking for her.
Evanovich, who lives in New Hampshire and is launching her book tour next week, answered some
questions from Marblehead Patch:
Marblehead Patch: How did you choose the setting and theme of your novel "Wicked Appetite?"
Janet Evanovich: The theme came first ... a wicked quest that involved the seven deadly sins. I chose
Salem and Marblehead as the setting because I thought the history of the two towns would add a fun
element. My daughter has a historic house in Marblehead, so I actually spend a lot of time in the area...
MP: ...What's the place or thing you love best about Salem?
JE: My favorite place in Salem is Ye Olde Pepper Companie, America's Oldest Candy Co.
MP: And the thing you love most about Marblehead?
JE: The beer and wings at Jack Tar.
Thank You, Ms. Evanovich!
Sincerely,
Jack-Tar American Tavern
