Date: Tuesday, April 23, 2019
Time: 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
Branch: Miller Branch
Description:
Best-selling novelist Alafair Burke has her finger on the pulse of domestic noir fiction. With her new book, The Better Sister, she presents a high-octane premise: two estranged sisters who have been married to the same man must join forces to save the teenaged boy accused of murdering him. The family dynamics are even more complex than the premise suggests as their reunion threatens to unearth secrets.
Burke is a New York Times bestselling author whose most recent novels include The Wife and The Ex, which was nominated for the Edgar Award for best novel. She also co-authors the bestselling Under Suspicion series with Mary Higgins Clark. A former prosecutor, she now teaches criminal law and lives in Manhattan and East Hampton.
"Alafair Burke is a master at ramping up the suspense and her legal and police references are spot-on." - Harper Collins
