THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!
Bookshops are expensive to run β one shops at them because one wants them to survive. They do a lot of things that Amazon doesnβt hosting events and fostering community. Shopping at Amazon is basically the same as saying the bookshop should not exist. Sorry if thatβs harsh to sayβ¦

Actually itβs much easier. You just have to open a book (we only sell mysteries)

Frequently find myself reflecting on what a great title HUCKLEBERRY FIEND is.
Thomas Perryβs gripping conclusion to his beloved Jane Whitefield series, THE TREE OF LIGHT AND FLOWERS, is out today
Agreed, itβs a fabulous series. Perry died unexpectedly last fall.
βPerry crafts a taut, morally charged narrative where loyalty and survival collide. Fans of high-stakes suspense will savor this white-knuckle ride.β β Publishers Weekly
βA supercharged final pursuit thatβs a fitting close to Perryβs remarkably consistent career as a master of suspense.β β Kirkus
"Fascinating . . . Another absorbing Perry mystery." β Booklist (starred)
βSmart, fast-paced action drama from a stellar literary talent.β β Library Journal (starred)
