Murder in the Lab: Inside The Botanist’s Assistant With Peggy Townsend
In this episode, I’m joined by award-winning author and journalist Peggy Townsend to talk about her sharp, heartfelt, and wonderful new mystery, The Botanist’s Assistant.
In The Botanist’s Assistant, we meet Margaret Finch—six feet tall, fiercely organized, lover of schedules, and proud inhabitant of a tiny cabin in the woods. Her obsessive attention to detail makes her indispensable in her university botany lab… and it may also put a target on her back when she decides a recent death is no accident.
Peggy and I discuss the inspiration behind The Botanist’s Assistant, the fun four-legged character and her unusual book reviewers on her Instagram page. Hint—they like to review books from their Hen House!

“When morality blurs and motives twist, Jeff Circle’s Myopic Duplicity dares you to decide which lie you’d tell to save the truth.”
Jeff Circle isn’t your typical anthology editor. With a background spanning military intelligence, law-enforcement investigations, and global operations, he brings a unique edge to storytelling. As the creator of The Writer’s Dossier and curator of razor-sharp suspense, Circle’s latest work, Myopic Duplicity, invites readers into the dark grey zones of morality: when desperation, loyalty and ambition collide, what are you willing to do?
This collection uncompromisingly asks: Do the ends ever justify the means? Featuring chilling short stories that expose how even the most righteous intentions can twist into betrayal, survival, and deceit, Myopic Duplicity holds up a mirror to our own choices—and the price we’re prepared to pay.
For fans of high-stakes crime, psychological thrillers, and ethical puzzles, it’s a must-read.
