Join us on Sunday, November 23 to meet Emily Bain Murphy, author of Ivory City, a romantic historical murder mystery set at the 1904 World's Fair. It’s a treat to read, and we’re even more excited about the book because Leviathan Bookstore has a very small place in it. You can learn more about that and ask Emily anything else you like while you’re here—she’ll be greeting guests and signing copies throughout her allotted time.

About the book: Cousins Grace and Lillie have been best friends since birth, despite Grace's vastly inferior social status ever since her mother married for love instead of wealth. When Lillie invites Grace to the biggest event of the century--the legendary World's Fair, also known as "The Ivory City"--Grace hopes her fortunes might be about to change. But when a member of their party is brutally killed at the fair, and suspicion falls on Lillie's brother Oliver, Grace must prove Oliver's innocence before her beloved cousins' family is ruined forever. Along the way, she'll discover that the city's wealthy elite--including Oliver's handsome but irritable friend Theodore--aren't quite who they appear to be. And amidst the glitz, glamor, and magic of the Ivory City lurks a danger that just may claim her life.

TL; DR: The Devil in the White City meets Pride and Prejudice.
