The perfect historical Halloween treat for our daytime audiences, join us as we partner with Milwaukee's Boswell Book Company and Oconomowoc's Books & Company for this captivating author event, moderated by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Senior Director of Digital Strategy (and huge Agatha Christie fan!) Rachel Piper.

During World War II, ten displaced children stayed at Agatha Christie's country home, while London was bombed by the Germans. Inspired by this fascinating, little-known fact, Death at Greenway re-imagines what it would have been like to hide away from the war in a murder novelist's house. The result is a dark, twisting novel about nurses who come to Greenway to care for evacuated children … but when a body is discovered nearby, the idyllic setting becomes host to a deadly mystery.
