Get ready for an exciting time with ‘An Evening with Mystery Writers Sulari Gentill, Hank Phillippi Ryan and Eva Jurczyk’ moderated by Rachel Raczka of the Boston Globe on Thursday, December 8th, at 7:00 PM.

About the Authors:  

SULARI GENTILL is a bestselling author who has captivated readers and librarians with her “elegantly constructed, funny, and profound” mystery-within-a-mystery. In ‘The Woman in the Library’, the ornate reading room at the Boston Public Library is quiet, until the tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge instructing everyone inside to stay put. Four strangers, who happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer.

HANK PHILLIPPI RYAN is the bestselling author of 13 psychological thrillers, Ryan has won multiple prestigious awards for her crime fiction. National reviews have called her a "master at crafting suspenseful mysteries" and "a superb and gifted storyteller." 

Ryan’s newest book is ‘Her Perfect Life’, a chilling psychological stand-alone about fame, family and revenge which received rave reviews calling it "a superlative thriller." ‘Her Perfect Life’ is also now nominated for the Agatha Award.

EVA JURCZYK is a debut novelist and Toronto librarian. ‘The Department of Rare Books and Special Collections’ is “a valentine to librarians that doesn’t shy away from their dark sides”. 

Jurczyk’s work is a darkly comedic, literary mystery about a career librarian who is suddenly instated as the director of a prestigious university collection and its eccentric staff, when a whole host of priceless books go missing.
