Linda Barnes is the author of 16 mystery novels, including 12 Carlotta Carlyle mysteries set in Boston. Her Boston characters deal with daily questions of good and evil. Her 6’1” redheaded Boston private eye confronts crime on a daily basis and manages to keep a moral center in spite of her brushes with evil. Barnes won the Anthony Award and nominations for both the Shamus Award and the American Mystery Award for Best Short Story for Lucky Penny in 1985. In 1987 she received the American Mystery Award for Best Private Eye Novel and nominations for the Edgar, Anthony, and Shamus awards for A Trouble of Fools. This is the third in a series of three programs on Contemporary Crime, sponsored by the Trustees of the Needham Free Public Library.

Are you a fairy-tale fan? Do you have a princess-story loving little one? Then you’ll want to check out The Goat-Faced Girl, a reinterpretation of a classic Italian fairy-tale and the debut picture book for mother and daughter author/illustrator team, Leah Marinksy Sharpe and Jane Marinsky. They’ve started off with a bang, receiving starred reviews from several major publications, including Publisher’s Weekly, which cites “rich storytelling and intricately designed artwork,” and calls the book “a must for anyone who would rather be a sorceress than a princess.” We’re excited to have this dynamic duo visit us at Wellesley Booksmith on Sunday, March 28th to share their book and talk about the process of creating their work of art. Leah Marinsky Sharpe, a doctoral candidate focusing on the management of aquatic species, lives in Vermont. Her mother, Jane Marinsky has been an editorial illustrator for many years and teached illustration at Daemen College in Amherst, New York. She spends her winters in Buffalo, New York and summers in Vermont.
