Mystery Afoot At The Hudson
Written By: Emily Crowell | Issue: 2018/06 - June
On June 5, author Susan Boyer will be at Hudson Library as part of this summer’s Books and Bites author talks. Susan will be giving a talk and presenting her recently-released book, “Lowcountry Bookshop,” the seventh and newest in her award-winning Liz Talbot mystery series.
The series is set primarily in Lowcountry South Carolina, and in “Lowcountry Bookshop” Private Investigator Liz Talbot takes her Southern charm and investigative prowess to the streets of Charleston, ostensibly to help clear the name of an innocent woman from murder. Luckily, Susan will also have books for sale (and signing) with her so we can find out what really happens.
Susan’s first novel, “Lowcountry Boil,” won the Agatha Award for Best First Novel and the Daphne du Maurier Award for Excellence in Mystery/Suspense in addition to being nominated for several other awards. “Lowcountry Boneyard,” the third Liz Talbot novel, was a Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance Okra Pick, a Daphne du Maurier Award finalist, and short-listed for the Pat Conroy Beach Music Mystery Prize.
A native North Carolinian, having grown up in the small town of Faith, Susan now lives just down the road in Greenville, South Carolina. She’s been writing stories her whole life and is described as having been “…one of those children whose teachers were always telling her mamma that her talents needed to be ‘channeled.’” (I like her already!) She is also known to be a captivating speaker, which will make for an hour well-spent.
Please join Hudson Library in giving Susan a warm Highlands welcome on June 5 at 12:30 P.M in the library’s Meeting Room. The program is free, no reservations required, and the Hudson Library board will be providing refreshments and small lunch bites in a relaxed, informal environment. Susan will give a talk lasting about an hour followed by book-signings. April’s Books and Bites event was a resounding success, and the library expects the same for this one.
And yes, all of Susan’s books can be checked out from Hudson
Library, although there may be a waiting list for them.
Hudson Library is located at 554 Main Street in Highlands. Its operating hours are Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 A.M. to 5:30 P.M. and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 4:00 P.M. The phone number is (828) 526-3150.
