Mentone Public Library's local author talk program, "An Author for All Seasons: Series Eleven" continues.
Fellow Sleuths, please join us in our Zoom Room, together with Local Historical Crime Fiction Author Laraine Stephens as we venture back to the year 1918 to explore a gruesome, murderous crime-spree unfolding in City of Bayside's historical Brighton.
ABOUT THE BOOK: "THE DEATH MASK MURDERS"
‘A razor must be straight. A razor must be polished. A razor must be sharp.’
As a wild storm batters Brighton, Emma Hart, an aspiring artist, and Max Rushforth, a shell-shocked ex-soldier, take refuge in the cellar of a derelict mansion, the Death Mask Murderer’s lair and home to his sinister collection of plaster casts of murdered women. With Max in the spotlight of the police investigation, Emma gathers together an unlikely cast of amateur sleuths to solve the case. There is her feisty great aunt, Mrs Florence Darrow, a wealthy Brighton matron and philanthropist, as well as Reggie da Costa, The Argus‘s premier crime reporter, bon vivant and sometime Socialist. Lastly, there is Dr Silas Bacon, an expert in death masks. Together, they combine their respective talents to track down a murderer.
