A sturdy group braved the rainy weather last night to enjoy an intimate talk with Clive Rosengren, former actor and current mystery writer, at a reading of his first novel Murder Unscripted at Logos Books. The audience got a “sneak preview” of Hollywood sleuth Eddie Collins, who will be putting in an appearance soon in a second mystery already in the works. Here are some photos of the evening – an enjoyable one by all accounts.
