About this Event

Join us at Copperfish Books for an evening with author Deborah Goodrich Royce as we celebrate her gripping psychological thriller, Best Boy. This marks Deborah’s second visit with us, and we’re delighted to welcome her back for another engaging conversation.

Best Boy teeters on the knife-edge of memory and identity when the arrival of a shocking letter threatens the carefully constructed life of a woman desperate to outrun her past. Deborah will discuss her writing process, the inspiration behind the novel, and what draws her to psychologically complex characters, followed by an audience Q&A and book signing. Whether you’re already a fan or discovering her work for the first time, this promises to be a fascinating evening for lovers of suspenseful, thought-provoking fiction.
