The program will begin at noon Wednesday in the library conference room, and a free lunch will be served.
The Booklist review of "Song of the Bones: A Chantalene Mystery" reports the book is "Preston's follow-up to 'Perhaps She'll Die,' published in 2001."
The book returns readers to tiny Tetumka, Okla., where feisty protagonist Chantalene Morrell, still enjoying a passionate relationship with her lawyer boyfriend, Drew, is drawn into a complex situation with her surrogate aunt, postmistress Thelma Patterson.
"When an oil company approaches Thelma about leasing her land, she must find her long-missing husband, Billy Ray Patterson, to clear the title," Booklist reports.
Filled with mistaken identities, waking dreams of a strange, lost girl, a bogus oil company, robbery, murder, a crazy hermit, and a handsome cowboy, "Song of the Bones" is sure to thrill Preston's growing fan base, the review continues.
Marcia K. Preston grew up on a wheat farm in Oklahoma, near a town not too different from the setting of her mystery series. Her first book in the series, "Perhaps She'll Die," was nominated for the Mary Higgins Clark Award for suspense fiction, and for Macavity and Barry awards in the Best First Mystery division.
