Online Program

Want to learn more about the nitty-gritty of mystery writing? Join us for a discussion panel featuring Debra H. Goldstein, Hallie Ephron, Hank Phillippi Ryan, Yasmin Angoe, and Ellery Adams

What is the difference between a cozy mystery and a suspense thriller? Are all mysteries created equal? Join us on Zoom for a deep dive with cozy authors Debra H. Goldstein and Ellery Adams, suspense author Hallie Ephron, psychological thriller author Hank Phillippi Ryan, and the soon-debuting thriller author Yasmin Angoe, as they discuss the pros, cons, and in-betweens of different approaches to their craft. This program is a part of Hoover Library's Adult Summer Reading program, "Tails & Tales."

The program will stream live on Hoover Library's Facebook and YouTube pages. Register for the event and we will email you direct links to the online event, or check back here to join in on the day of the program:
