Join us on May 8th at the Haunted Book Shop for a night of cozy fun and whodunits with Tom Spencer and his latest novel, “The Mystery of the Crooked Man.” Celebrated as a quirky homage to Golden Age detectives, the novel introduces our heroine, Agatha Dorn, who, after falling into the literary limelight, becomes a target of scandal and suspicion. With the aura of a classic whodunit, this tale combines the intrigue of lost manuscripts with the dark mystery of a fraudulent crime.

At the event, you will have a chance to listen to Tom Spencer delve into the inspiration behind his captivating characters, take a peek into his writing process, and share more about his journey from an expat Londoner to a noted author in the United States. This is surely a golden opportunity for readers of the Twyford Code, Magpie Murders, and Yellowface, along with anyone who appreciates a well-crafted crime story with a hefty dose of English wit and charm.

Make sure to stop by our next-door neighbor Alchemy Tavern for a to-go, mystery-themed cocktail, then grab your seat in our store for a lively in-conversation and audience Q&A. Reserve your copy and seat today!

Ticket required for event. Ticket includes one copy of “The Mystery of the Crooked Man.”
