Greetings from Foul Play Mystery Bookshop
After mucho flogging from Casey, and a nudge from Jeff, here’s Foul Play first attempt at blogging. Our sister in crime, Judy, who is also a partner in the store, was coerced in writing this piece.
There is nothing I like better than talking about/writing about mysteries, unless it is reading mysteries. Luckily, as a part-owner of Foul Play Mystery Bookshop, Westerville, Ohio, I get to read a lot of mysteries and even better, meet authors! Our store holds author signings when we can; in fact, we have a couple coming up. Luisa Buehler will be there on February 25th, for a Brown Bag lunch at 1:00 p.m., and talk about her new mystery, Puzzle, Plot and Punch! Then on April 21 at 12:30 p.m. Susan Witting Albert will host the 2nd Brown Bag lunch, and discuss her newest China Bayles novel–Wormwood. We are very sorry that the snow last week postponed a visit by Casey Daniels, and hope to have that rescheduled soon. We also have a strong bookclub that meets the second Wednesday of each month to discuss a mystery, snack on goodies, and just generally have a great time. This month we are reading O’Artful Death by Sarah Stewart Taylor. You can find out more about us at www.foulplaybooks.com There are three of us who own the store: John and Toni live there with the cats and the books, and I (Judy) commute down from Medina for authors and book club (weather permitting). I’m John’s sister, and therefore Toni’s sister-in-law, of course. I’m into cosy mysteries, police procedurals, British classics, and just about anything that is well written. John likes a variety, including ones too hard-boiled for me, and Toni likes everything from cosy to true crime. The cats just like treats. Thought I’d use this first blog to introduce us, and in future, we’ll take turns talking about books. (And maybe authors–we’ll be nice I promise.)
