A Cozy Mystery Luncheon


Join bestselling authors Jennifer J. Chow and Daryl Wood Gerber for a lively conversation exploring the world of cozy mysteries, memorable characters, delicious settings, and the art of crafting the perfect whodunit.

Jennifer J. Chow is the author of the L.A. Night Market Mysteries, Lunar New Year Mysteries, and Magical Fortune Cookie Mysteries. Her latest novel, Tale-Tell Treats, combines magical fortune cookies, mouthwatering treats, and a suspicious death.

Daryl Wood Gerber is an Agatha Award-winning, nationally bestselling author whose popular mystery series include the Cookbook Nook Mysteries, Fairy Garden Mysteries, French Bistro Mysteries, and Aroma Wellness Mysteries. Her latest novel, M**der in a Lavender Daze, takes readers to California's Central Coast, where lavender, wellness, and M**der make for a particularly intriguing combination.

Together, they'll discuss their writing, inspiration, the appeal of cozy mysteries, and why readers love a good M**der—as long as it's fictional!

Lunch will be served, and books will be available for purchase and signing following the program.
