The Poisoned Pen bookstore is hosting a mystery fan event the weekend of June 24-26. Since it's being held at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa, it's a great chance to meet your favorite authors and maybe work in a little self-indulgent pampering at the same time. Lisa Brackmann, Jodi Compton, Stefanie Pintoff, Zoe Sharp will get things started off Thursday evening the 24th for "Edgy Characters: Three Dames and a Guy." Friday night is A Mash Up: Cozy and Noir," featuring signings by authors Juliet Blackwell, Rebecca Cantrell, Jennifer Lee Carrell, Vicki Hendricks, Sophie Littlefield, Michael Koryta, Jeanne Matthews and Gary Phillips.
Saturday's events will see "A Walk on the Wild Side" with Sophie Hannah and Michael Koryta together; a PF Chisholm/Diana Gabaldon pairing; and more from Dana Stabenow, Stephanie Barron, Lauren Willig and Jacqueline Winspear, as well as a couple of discussion groups. There will be various readings Saturday night and a bonus signing with author Karin Slaughter on Sunday.
