Wayne is thrilled that CBC Books – The Next Chapter recommends LETTERS FROM JOHNNY as a MUST-READ summer mystery.
It is every writer’s dream to be interviewed by Shelagh Rogers on CBC Radio show, The Next Chapter. He is still waiting, but hearing her drop his name because Angela Misri, one her mystery book panelists, raved about Letters From Johnny, is still pretty awesome.
CBC Books – The Next Chapter’s mystery panel recommends 9 thriller and whodunit books to read this summer
“This book has such a beautiful vision of that time period in the 1970s, growing up in a first-generation Canadian household. It’s about Johnny Wong, who writes letters to the captain of the Toronto Maple Leafs — Dave Keon at the time — and tells him all these stories about his community, including a murder.
“It’s like a garden of beautiful anecdotes and information and nostalgia about Toronto — Ng does just a beautiful job of this story that happens to also be a mystery about a murder.” –Angela Misri
