546 - When I Killed My Father - Interview with John Byrne Barry - 08-26-2022

546 - When I Killed My Father - Interview with John Byrne Barry - 08-26-2022

Six months ago I was contacted by novelist John Byrne Barry about interviewing him regarding his latest murder mystery novel titled When I Killed My Father: An Assisted-Suicide Family Thriller.  I have to admit that the topic initially took me back, but after a phone call with John I decided to read his book, and found it a very good read regarding a topic that can easily polarize people on this topic.  So listen to this fun interview with John, and maybe you will order his book for an exciting read.   You can purchase this novel and others that he has written by visiting www.JohnByrneBarry.com or purchasing it at Amazon.
