Meet Jennifer van der Kleut, Author of The Better Mother
✨️One of the Most Anticipated Debut Thrillers of 2026✨️
Be among the first to meet Jennifer van der Kleut, whose electrifying debut novel The Better Mother is already generating major buzz. With an exclusive feature in People magazine and early readers calling it one of the most anticipated thrillers of 2026, this is an author event you won’t want to miss.
Jennifer van der Kleut is making a stop at The Viridian Bookshop as part of her book tour for The Better Mother — a gripping psychological thriller that blends the tension of Fatal Attraction with the domestic suspense of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle.
Join us for an evening of:
• An author talk with Jennifer van der Kleut
• A live Q&A where you can ask about the book, her writing process, and the whirlwind surrounding her debut
• The chance to purchase and have your copy signed
• Free goodie bags for the first 25 people through the door
Whether you’re an avid thriller reader, love discovering debut authors before everyone else, or simply want to be part of a buzzy literary event, this is your chance to meet the author everyone will be talking about.
Ticket Options:
General Admission: $5
General Admission + Book Purchase: $24.99
Viridian Bookshop will call when your book is ready to be picked up! Read it before the event and bring it to be signed, or pick it up AT the event!
Reserve your spot today — and arrive early if you want one of the limited-edition goodie bags!
💚 Why Tickets Matter:
Your ticket does more than reserve a seat—it supports a local independent bookstore and helps us thoughtfully prepare an exceptional event experience with our featured author.
