Three talented mystery writers speak about their books, writing and the art of crafting a good thriller.

On  Thursday, October 15th, as part of  Third Thursday in Larkinville, from 5:30pm to 6:45pm Sandra Block, author of the new book The Girl without a Name, Beverly Allen, author of Bloom and Doom, and Alice Loweecey author of Second to Nun will talk about writing mysteries.

Sandra Block, a practicing neurologist in Buffalo, has written a new mystery, The Girl Without a Name,  featuring the character Zoe Goldman. Readers first met Zoe in Block’s debut novel Little Black Lies, which received the following praise in theNew York Times Sunday Book Review: “She picks an invisible bug off her face.” On that intriguing note Sandra Block begins her offbeat first novel, Little Black Lies , a psychological suspense story smartly narrated by Dr. Zoe Goldman, a young psychiatrist doing her residency at a Buffalo hospital.”

Barbara Early, writing under the pen name, Beverly Allen, is a Buffalo native who writes the Bridal Bouquet Shop Mysteries. Her books cook up a healthy dose of comedy and sometimes a splash of romance.

Alice Loweecey is a former nun who transitioned from the convent to the theater, where she played a prostitute on stage. Her mysteries feature an ex-nun Private Investigator involved in an on-again/off-again romance with her boss.
