Martha Grimes and Ken Grimes spoke about their book, Double Double: A Dual Memoir of Alcoholism , at Politics & Prose on Friday, June 14, 2013.

Alcoholism may run in families, but that doesn’t mean that even close relatives have the same experience with the addiction. In this unique chronicle of drinking, recovery, relapse, and extended recovery, Martha Grimes, the prolific mystery writer, and her son Ken, a public-relations professional, compare notes on how they’ve lived with this lifelong illness.
