Summary
This week I’m joined by bestselling author Jo Piazza to celebrate the release of her newest novel, The Parisian Heist . Our conversation starts with a simple question: Is it ever okay to steal? From there, we dive into the real-life story of Jo Van Gogh, the woman responsible for transforming Vincent van Gogh from an overlooked artist into one of the most celebrated painters in history. We also explore how storytelling, branding, and preserving someone’s legacy can become a kind of heist of their own. If you enjoy strong female characters, fascinating historical details, and page-turning suspense, The Parisian Heist is for you! Add this one to your summer reading list.
