Last Saturday, from 1-5:30, Kepler's hosted an event addressing the question of mystery vs. thriller. They had quite a lineup of authors, including a number of authors that we've had at Village House of Books: Keith Raffel, Sheldon Siegel, Cara Black, and Ellen Kirshman. They also had Barry Eisler, whose John Rain series is one of my favorites, that I'm trying to convince to come to VHOB. And they had Laurie R. King, who will be one of our keynote speakers at the Literary Fair, August 23. Yes, I know that I haven't told you about this event yet. More details will follow in the next couple of days. It's going to be some kind of party!

Lloyd, the blonde "unknown" woman on the panel with Laurie, Cara, Sheldon, and Alan is the great Catriona McPherson. Winner of Agatha, Macavity, Bruce Alexander awards. You have read her books, right?
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't. I am obviously a troglodyte that deserves to be inducted into the Readers' Hall of Shame! Having said that, and recognizing that we don't always agree (except when I'm showing you some Fine book club love), which one of her books would you recommend that I read first?
