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

A woman in a red coat and hat sits at a desk overlooking the Eiffel Tower, painting a portrait in a sunlit Paris apartment. Book cover for "Peril in Paris" by Rhys Bowen.

Lady Georgiana Rannoch and her dashing husband, Darcy, are awaiting a bundle of joy, but an unexpected trip to Paris will thrust them straight into a tangled web of international intrigue in this all-new mystery in the New York Times bestselling Royal Spyness series from Rhys Bowen.

Rhys Bowen’s work has sold close to 10 million copies, in over 30 languages. She has been nominated for every major mystery award and has won multiple Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Awards. Her books include the Royal Spyness and Molly Murphy historical mysteries, as well as several international bestselling stand-alone novels.

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.
