** About the event **
Join New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Things We Cannot Say, The Warsaw Orphan, The German Wife, The Paris Agent, and more -- Kelly Rimmer as she celebrates her new novel, The Story Keeper.
Rimmer will delve into the art of weaving a dual narrative and the allure of a book-within-a-book mystery. The conversation will focus on the Gothic suspense of family secrets, the blurred lines between fiction and reality, and the enduring power of stories held within an ancestral home. This is a perfect event for readers who love historical fiction, compelling mysteries, and exploring the hidden legacies of the past.
This event features a 45-minute presentation followed by a brief audience Q&A. Each ticket includes a copy of The Story Keeper.
** About the book **
The Story Keeper blends a contemporary mystery with Gothic suspense. It introduces Fiona Winslow, who seeks solace by restoring Wurimbirra, the decaying family estate she inherited after a tumultuous year. Beneath the crumbling plaster, she discovers secrets buried for a generation. Her attention is then caught by a curious book in her late uncle's library, The Midnight Estate, which plunges her into a tale that eerily mirrors her own, a story of love, loss, and betrayal. Rimmer masterfully weaves a dual narrative and a book-within-a-book mystery, forcing Fiona to question if the true mystery lies within the walls of her ancestral home or within the pages of the book that seems to have chosen her.
