Author Leslie Conner will host a mystery game night and sign copies of her latest novel, Devil's Charm -- the first in the Lexie Garner Detective series.

Guests will play the roles of characters in a story of murder and mayhem! A dinner party at a wealthy couple’s mansion leads to the mysterious death of one of the guests. You get to figure out clues, follow the leads, and accuse your fellow guests of murder!

To guarantee that you get to play a role in the mystery game, please RSVP to leslie@leslieconner.com. (Don’t worry... no acting ability is required.) If you don’t wish to play a role, you can be a secret witness. Follow the action and cast your silent vote to name the killer!

About the book: Fully fleshed-out characters, a plot that slithers like a snake in a drain pipe, a touch of romance, and a strong female protagonist who plays by the book, but is not afraid to bend the rules when necessary, combine for a satisfying thrill ride that will keep the pages turning.

Leslie Conner obtained her Master’s degree in English Literature from Southern Illinois University. She resides in Illinois with her dog, Coraline. Her short stories have been published in literary journals and anthologies, and you can find her flash fiction story “Murder 101” in The Bookends Review.
