Meet the author

cows.gifCome meet Karen E. Olson, author of the Annie Seymour mysteries! Find out what the future holds for Annie.

Next Sunday at 2 in the McManus Room, The Usual Suspects Mystery Reading Group will be discussing the first title in the series, Sacred Cows, which Publishers Weekly called a “spirited debut.”

Annie Seymour is a police reporter at the fictional New Haven Herald. She is tough, smart and has a self-deprecating sense of humor. She lives in a brownstone in the city's Wooster Square neighborhood, just around the corner from the best pizza in the world.

In Sacred Cows, when a Yale student is found dead, Annie's investigation into the girl's secret life brings her closer to home than she expects.

We will have a brief discussion about the book and a chance to chat with our special guest. Olson is a New Haven native and was herself in the newspaper business for 20 years.

Light refreshments (not pizza) will be served. All are welcome.

Phone 291-4821 for a copy of the book. Call 291-4836 for more information on The Usual Suspects.

The summer discussion series, “Paper Chases”, begins on Sunday, June 15th with a discussion of The Bookman’s Wake by John Dunning. Other titles will include A Letter of Mary by Laurie R. King (July 13th) and The Burglar Who Traded Ted Williams by Lawrence Block (August 17th).
