About this Event
Join us as we celebrate the most recent book in the A Deadly Twenties Mystery Series by Jenny Adams! Preceded by A DEADLY ENDEAVOR (A Deadly Twenties Mystery #1), A POISONOUS SILENCE (A Deadly Twenties Mystery #2) is perfect for fans of Miss Fisher’s M**der Mysteries and Dead Dead Girls. Adams will be joined in conversation by local mystery author Stephen Spotswood (Pentecost and Parker Mystery Series)!
Set in Prohibition-era Philadelphia, A POISONOUS SILENCE follows the story of Edie Shippen, who has officially started her new career as a private investigator... even though she has yet to book a client. When she runs into an old friend, the film actress Ava Sylvester, Edie is delighted at the chance to rekindle their relationship. But when Ava’s co-star and new husband, Duncan, dies suddenly, all signs point to Ava. Edie’s first official case begins in earnest, desperately trying to clear her friend’s name.
Jenny Adams has always had an overactive imagination. She turned her love of books and stories into a career as a librarian and author of novels for adults. She holds degrees in Medieval Studies and Library Science from The Ohio State University and Drexel University, and currently lives in Alexandria, Virginia with her family.
Stephen Spotswood is an award-winning playwright, journalist, and educator. As a journalist, he has spent much of the last two decades writing about the aftermath of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the struggles of wounded veterans. His dramatic work has been widely produced across the United States, and he is the winner of the 2021 Nero Award for best American mystery. He makes his home in Washington, DC with his wife, young adult author Jessica Spotswood.
