About this Event
Sam Burr and Ericka Waller will be tackling a jigsaw together in store as they discuss the older characters going on new adventures, what makes a compelling mystery, and their latest books: Goodbye Birdie Greenwing and The Fellowship Of The Puzzlemakers.
"Great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave and impossible to forget ...Birdie Greenwing has been at a loose end ever since her beloved twin sister and husband passed away.

But then some new neighbours move in to the house next door.Goodbye Birdie Greenwing celebrates relationships in all their quirky, complicated uniqueness. It is a story about the choices we make and how we justify them.
