Join us for a launch party in honor of Mobile mystery novel phenom Carolyn Haines on May 23, as we celebrate her latest novel, “Lights, Camera, Bones.” We’re rolling out all the frills for Carolyn with a specialty cocktail menu at Happy Hour pricing, putting Carolyn on the hot seat for an audience Q&A, book signing line, and, most certainly when Carolyn is involved, unknown hijinks and hilarity.

In “Lights, Camera, Bones,” we step again into the shoes of the much-loved character Sarah Booth Delaney, a fiery and resourceful private investigator from the South famously described by Kirkus Reviews as “Stephanie Plum meets the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.” The drama unfolds on a movie set in Greenville, right on the Mississippi River where Delaney Detective Agency faces a unique challenge with the mysterious disappearance of a wealthy political scion while filming a story about the 1927 flood that devastated Greenville. The subsequent discovery of a severed foot suggests a disastrous encounter with a bull shark, but as rumors circulate, the human element cannot be discounted. Delaney, along with her associates, must navigate a complex maze of evidence to solve this alarming mystery.

Make sure your funny bone and curious mind are intact for this event. It is one you won’t want to miss!
