Book Talk with Carol McCleary

Location: Upstairs in the Library

March 21, 2010

Time: 3pm

‘Packed with historical detail and humour’ (Elle )

‘Meet Nellie Bly, America’s first female investigative reporter. She’s feisty, funny, opinionated, persistent, and as tough as any male she meets. She has to be, because in The Alchemy of Murder, she’s swept through a tale of peril and pursuit that is sure to keep you turning pages long after you should have been asleep. You’ll find yourself on the mean streets of nineteenth century New York, in Victorian London and in Paris as the Eiffel Tower rises and deadly things, men and microbes, stalk the streets. It is a dazzling entertainment, so well constructed, and it has Oscar Wilde too!’ (William Martin )picture

‘Carol McCleary does for the City of Light what Ann Perry has done for Victorian London and what The Alienist did for 19th century New York. A gripping, atmospheric, electrifying masterwork!’ (Barbara Wood )

‘Meet Nelly Bly, investigative reporter, self-assured, gutsy and funny, in her first outing. THE ALCHEMY OF MURDER is a brilliant debut full of historical detail and peril which will entertain you right till the last page. Can’t wait to read more of her adventures’ (David Headley )

These are just some of the reviews for Carol McCleary’s new book The Alchemy of Murder.
Sound like something you’d like to read? Come meet Carol McCleary and hear her talk about her book and answer your questions March 21 at 3pm.
