So what
does the Ashton Corners gang do to celebrate Valentine’s Day? Not the usual,
that’s for sure. Since the romantic day falls on a Sunday this year, we’ve
decided to host a brunch at the local Eagles Hall, the same location we held
the Book Fair last spring. If you read BOOK FAIR AND FOUL, you’ll recognize the
place immediately.
This is a
fundraiser for the local Literacy group, special to Sally Jo and me because we
teach night school classes for them. The theme is Couples in Mystery and
everyone is invited to dress as their favorite crime solving duos.
For
instance, Mark Dreyfus and I are going as Phryne Fisher and Detective Inspector
Jack Robinson – I’m sure we won’t be the only ones. Sally Jo Baker and Jacob
Smith will make an appearance as Tommy and Tuppence. We’re not sure about Bob
Miller and Molly Mathews but I’m betting she’ll talk him into being Hercule
Poirot to her Miss Marple. Okay, they’re not really a couple but they are a couple of sleuths penned by the
amazing Agatha Christie
.
All the
book club members are plotting ways to make this another memorable event in our
community and you can bet, there’ll be some mysterious games involved. Plus
lots of great eats and cheese straws, of course!
Your
invitation is in the mail! Who will you come dressed as?
Look for A KILLER READ, (#2 on the Barnes
and Noble Mystery Bestseller List and an Agatha Award nominee for Best
First Mystery), READ AND BURIED, COVER STORY, and BOOK FAIR AND FOUL on-line or at your favorite bookstore.
Book #5, LAW AND AUTHOR, now available.
