Sara DiVello is a true crime novelist and the creator/host of Mystery and Thriller Mavens, a popular interactive Facebook group. For her weekly Mystery and Thriller Mavens live events, she has interviewed more than 300 authors, ranging from the bestselling and world-renowned (Dean Koontz, Patricia Cornwell, Lee Child, Jeffery Deaver, Tamron Hall, Karin Slaughter, Ruth Ware, Lisa Unger, and many more) to the buzziest debuts.
While creative and active on her own social media platforms, DiVello also serves as the director of social media strategy for the International Thriller Writers association. Sara has appeared on CBS, ABC, and CNBC, as well as in the New York Times, Forbes, the San Francisco Chronicle, and more. Her articles have been published in Marie Claire, Elle, Redbook, Cosmopolitan, and Woman’s Day, among others.
In her spare time, she loves to teach yoga, cook (and eat!), garden, and go for leisurely walks with her husband and their beloved rescue mutt, Peluda. Sara is passionate about all things books (especially mysteries and thrillers), the craft of writing, and connecting readers to their favorite authors, as well as introducing them to their new discoveries. She splits her time between New York City and Boston.
BROADWAY BUTTERFLY is told with historical accuracy, as well as with cultural sensitivity. While meant to entertain, the book represents an enduring quest for justice set against a backdrop of power, money, class, race, gender, truth, and politics. Every character was a real person, and Sara DiVello set out to honor their lives and their memories with a compassionate retelling of their stories. It’s a riveting and compulsive true crime mystery that examines the political powers at play and presents compelling evidence for who the killer really was…and how he literally got away with murder.
