Midtown Reader is excited to welcome New York Times bestselling author Lisa Unger to Tallahassee as she talks about her wickedly clever new novel, Served Him Right, a mystery thriller full of revenge, secrets, and jaw-dropping twists.

Served Him Right is classic Unger. The story begins with a group of girlfriends at a brunch where they’re celebrating a breakup. Everyone’s toasting good riddance to the lousy ex-boyfriend when the cops show up. Turns out the lousy ex-boyfriend has been found in a shallow grave in the nearby woods. All eyes are on the disgruntled girlfriend. But of course, she wasn’t the only one with an axe to grind... This is a juicy, twisty slow burn of a whodunnit and a delicious takedown of toxic masculinity. It’s smart, twisty, has a great cast of characters and is irresistibly feminist.

Midtown Reader is thrilled to welcome New York Times bestselling author Patti Callahan Henry back to Tallahassee for the paperback release of The Story She Left Behind!

Told in Henry’s lyrical, enchanting prose, The Story She Left Behind is a captivating novel of mystery and family legacy that captures the profound longing for a mother and the evergreen allure of secrets.

Tickets are $25 and include one paperback copy of the book.
