“Agency"   Chatter rolls with Claude, David, Jamie, and Torie.  They’re sad the World Cup is done and doubt the US Mens team will be in the final four any time soon.  Jamie introduces another new independent bookstore, The Brady Readery in Laytonsville, MD.  Veteran and woman owned, the hope is it becomes a community hub.  Author Emma Styles Zooms in from the UK to share her latest, “The Shark.”  Against a fierce Australian backdrop, two girls — unlikely allies —  kidnap a suspected serial murderer.  Bracingly written, “The Shark” underscores the fine line between hunter and hunted.
