About the Event

You are invited to join in the discussion with Salmagundi’s Mystery book club in our Wiggins bar. The discussion is led by the book club founder Gloria Sampson Knight. Ticketed attendees are also invited to join us for an a la carte dinner after the discussion. No reservation for dinner required separately! Continue the conversation of all things mystery over good food and company.

To miss this would be a crime.

About the Book

Festive book cover showing a decorated Christmas tree, a dog wearing a scarf, and a snowy, lit-up house. Title: "A Merry Little Murder Plot" by Jenn McKinlay.

During the most wonderful time of the year, famous author Helen Monroe arrives in Briar Creek to be the writer in residence, but her “bah humbug” attitude excludes her from the many holiday celebrations the town residents enjoy.

To try to spread some Christmas cheer, library director Lindsey Norris invites the new writer in town to join her crafternoon club. Helen politely refuses and when an altercation happens between Helen and another patron, Lindsey begins to suspect the author has been keeping to herself for a reason.

About the Author

A woman with shoulder-length hair and bangs, wearing a black top, rests her chin on her hand against a neutral background.

Former librarian Jenn McKinlay is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Bluff Point Romances, including Every Dog Has His Day, Barking Up the Wrong Tree, and About a Dog, as well as the Library Lover’s Mysteries, the Cupcake Bakery Mysteries, and the Hat Shop Mysteries.

Jenn lives in sunny Arizona in a house that is overrun with kids, pets, and her husband’s guitars.

About the Mystery Book Club

Since 2013, the Mystery book club has met monthly with the exception of June and July. The books discussed are primarily mystery novels. Some memorable authors explored have included Agatha Christie, Lee Child, Louise Penny and Ruth Rendell.

Books are selected based on geographic or historical interest, such as works by author Donna Leon whose crime novels are set in Venice, Italy and Peter Tremayne, Celtic scholar and historian whose focus is 7th century Ireland. We have had new authors discuss their writings including Paul Paradise, who writes about murder, trademark counterfeiting, and product piracy and Radha Vatsal, award winning mystery writer whose books center around a young female reporter in New York City during the 1910’s.
