The Mysterious Bookshop’s Christmas Party yesterday evening was a smashing success!
As well, as our loyal local customers, the following authors were here:
Mary Higgins Clark, Lawrence Block, Michael Malone, Jason Starr, Reed Farrel Coleman, S.J. Rozan, Lisa Atkinson, Rupert Holmes, Nelson DeMille, Joe Kanon, Adam Dunn, Lee Child, Megan Abbott, Alafair Burke, Wallace Stroby, Jim Fusilli, Bruce DeSilva, Peter James, Ron Goulart, Thomas H. Cook, Jonathan Santlofer, Lindsay Faye, etc.
If I missed anybody, I apologize.
Contributors who were here signed copies of Christmas at The Mysterious Bookshop edited by Otto Penzler.. We had an enormous number of pre-orders and the authors were extremely patient signing those copies and copies bought by party attendees. We have no more first editions of this title left!
We do however, have a very limited numbered of second editions signed by the contributors.
SIGNED COPIES NOW AVAILABLE
A Stranger in Mayfair is the fourth mystery by Charles Finch featuring gentleman sleuth Charles Lenox and his new wife, Lady Jane Grey. Lenox is asked by a colleague to consult in a murder case and then is abruptly called off the case, but not before he has learned some unsettling facts. A Soft Boiled Crime Club Main Selection. $24.99
Dead Like You by Peter James is up to his usual sinister and disturbing standard. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace investigates a series of attacks on women where the victims’ shoes are taken. It reminds him of case from 1997. Is this a copycat or has the "Shoe Man" resurfaced? James has not found the wide audience here that he has in the U.K. That should change - he’s a wonderfully dark writer. $25.99
Not Signed But...
We have a wonderful collection for Patricia Highsmith fans. Selected Novels and Short Stories contains classics such as Strangers on a Train and the lesser known The Price of Salt, which she wrote under the name Claire Morgan, as well as a selection of her disturbing stories. $35.00
