An Afternoon with Mystery Author Debra H. Goldstein
Sunday, September 17, 2:00 pm
Mystery lovers are invited for a fun afternoon with mystery writer Debra H. Goldstein! Debra draws on her experiences as a judge and litigator—and on her Jewish background as the daughter of a Holocaust survivor—to craft suspenseful and entertaining mystery novels. Her latest book, Should Have Played Poker, follows young corporate lawyer Carrie Martin, who experiences two shocking discoveries: first, that her mother had once considered killing her father, and then that her mother has been murdered. Carrie teams up with a local group of Mah Jongg players to unravel the mysteries of Wahoo, Alabama.
Debra H. Goldstein’s debut novel, Maze in Blue, received a 2012 Independent Book Publisher (IPPY) Award and was reissued as a May 2014 selection by Harlequin Worldwide Mysteries. Her short fiction and nonfiction essays have also been published in multiple anthologies. Over her education and career, Debra has lived in New Jersey, Michigan, New York, and Georgia, but she now lives in Birmingham, AL with her husband.
This event is co-sponsored by Florence-Lauderdale Public Library and the Temple B’nai Israel.
