Ms. Gardner will visit to release her newest book Never Tell. A self-described research junkie, Ms. Gardner's work as a research analyst for an international consulting firm parlayed her interest in police procedure, cutting edge forensics and twisted plots into a streak of internationally bestselling suspense novels,including her most recent release, Never Tell. A ticketed reception will be held from 12:00-12:45 p.m. and a free speaking engagement will take place at 1:00 p.m. A book signing will immediately follow.

"Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the Kathy Reichs book talk last night. I’ve never read any of her books or seen the show, but I sure do want to now! She’s an excellent speaker—what a sense of humor! The event was organized beautifully and I loved your library (it was my first time to see it). Thanks for a great evening!" -Ellen Ritchie

"I had the pleasure of attending the Tea time with Joanne Fluke last week. We had such a marvelous time, and took in all the time and love your staff put into making this an incredible event for us “Hannah Maniacs”. Other than meeting the speaker of the hour, it was also a pleasure meeting the wonderful staff. Very helpful in every way, upon arriving to your library. We are from out of town."
