“Everyone is a mystery, but some mysteries are more dangerous than others.” — Dean Koontz
Join Library Shop and Adventures by the Book for an evening of conversation with Nina Simon and Bridget Crocker at Library Shop Mission Hills. Simon, the New York Times bestselling author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night, will present the highly anticipated new mystery novel My Sister is Going to Kill Me. This author conversation and book launch will include a Q&A with book signing.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Simon’s latest mystery offers a family-centered whodunnit about two sisters who work together to find a killer as they raft down the rapids of the Grand Canyon.
What’s a family vacation without a little murder?
Liv and Mandy Chisholm’s yearly sister trip is a sacred tradition. Liv, the ever-practical older sister, packs the color-coded itineraries. Mandy, a bedazzled human tumbleweed, brings the spontaneity.
This year, the sisters take off for a rafting adventure through the breathtaking depths of the Grand Canyon with a group of strangers. But beyond the terrors of whitewater rapids, sibling squabbles, and rogue reptiles, the ferocious beauty of the river carries a darker undercurrent, and an unexpected guest: a murderer in their midst.
When a fellow traveler is found dead and another corpse hits the water, the rafting trip flips from idyllic sister vacation to high-stakes murder investigation. Every suspect has a secret, every clue is drenched in mystery, and Liv and Mandy can hardly trust each other, let alone their own instincts.
ABOUT THE SPEAKERS
NINA SIMON is the New York Times bestselling author of Mother-Daughter Murder Night. This big-hearted whodunnit was a Reese’s Book Club pick, an Anthony Award winner, and a “best of 2023” selection for Amazon, Barnes & Noble, CrimeReads, and LibraryJournal. She writes crime fiction about strong women, but before turning to fiction, Nina wore many hats: NASA engineer, slam poet, game designer, museum director, and nonprofit CEO.
BRIDGET CROCKER is the award-winning author of The River’s Daughter, and and a leading whitewater explorer and river guide. She writes adventure memoir for travelers forging new directions in their relationships and lives. Bridget’s adventure travel background combined with formal studies in Anthropology and Native American Studies have shaped her ability to integrate the natural and cultural spirit of varying landscapes into her writing.
