What a night! We can’t thank Ann Cleeves enough for coming to Charlottetown to launch her new book Dying Light and thank you to Mattea Roach for coming to PEI to interview her and a big thank you to the more than 650 people who came out last night to the Delta Prince Edward for the event. It was a wonderful interview! If you missed it, or you want to experience it again, watch for it on CBC Bookends and CBC Gem in the new year.

A huge event like this doesn’t happen without a lot of support. A BIG thank you goes to Publisher’s Group Canada, Pan MacMillan, CBC Bookends with Mattea Roach, CBC East, our amazing local CBC crew, Encore, Delta Prince Edward, PEI Public Library Services, and our wonderful event volunteers…and all of the people who support Bookmark and make it possible to bring in such fabulous authors.

Ann graciously signed all of her books last night, so if you missed last night’s event, drop by the shop to pick up an autographed copy or two…..it is going to be cold this weekend, treat yourself to a cracking mystery or two!

Ann will be launching her new book The Dying Light. Ann Cleeves returns with the fourth Two Rivers mystery featuring detective Matthew Venn. In The Dying Light, Venn and his team are called in to investigate a puzzling death. The body of a young woman has been found in the swimming pool of a lavish holiday home in North Devon, and her best friend is missing. The property, Tide House, belongs to Paul Armstrong—a rising political star, a fact that quickly draws intense media scrutiny.

Today’s featured book from The Booksellers’ List is The Inbetween Leader: Cultivating Courage and Unity in a Complex World by Jody Wilson-Raybould and Roshan Danesh. From Indigenous leader and former justice minister of Canada Jody Wilson-Raybould—and educator and lawyer Roshan Danesh—comes a how-to guide for a new type of leadership.

Shelley, owner of Blue Heron Books, says “Our world is changing quickly, and many of the pillars we thought we could rely on seem to be crumbling. Good leadership is more important than ever to help bring us together and move forward in constructive ways. In The Inbetween Leader, Jody Wilson-Raybould’s demonstrated and principled leadership is evident, bridging the gap between traditional leadership models and Indigenous governance.”

Drop by the shop and pick up your next great read! You can find copies of The Inbetween Leader on The Bookseller’s List display on the front of the cash desk or in the Indigenous section of the shop.
