Author Becky Thacker Discusses Her New Book "Faithful Unto Death" Based On A True Family Murder

Friday August 5, 2011: 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm -- Downtown Library: Multi-Purpose Room

Enjoy a good page-turning mystery novel? Learn about Becky Thacker's own family mystery that inspired her new novel, "Faithful Unto Death."

Thacker's novel provides a window into the daily lives of small-town Michiganders at the turn of the century, wrapped up in a riveting whodunit. Why was the pious daughter of missionaries suddenly stricken with a mysterious and fatal ailment -- was it an illness -- or suicide -- or murder?!

Join us and hear more about the real murder; this engrossing book; and why the University of Michigan Press decided to make this mystery novel available for free on their Facebook page as a special serialized summer read! This event includes a book signing and books will be on sale.

I know a man who is also trying to dig into a suspicious death in his family's death. This sounds like it's going to be great to hear about.

Hmm, I don't really like murder mysteries, but we'll see.


Submitted by hillary dorwart on Mon, 08/08/2011 - 9:08am.

Pious can mean that someone is falsely sincere or falsely earnest.
