Pickerington Main

Meeting Room C

Join us! A special evening celebrating the release of Erickson's newest cozy mystery, Death by Java, the latest in his Bookstore Cafe Mysteries series.

A resident of nearby Zanesville, Ohio, Alex is the popular author of the Bookstore Café Mysteries—a delightful series filled with small-town charm, puzzling murders, and plenty of feline companions.

Death by Java, releasing October 28, invites readers back into the world of Krissy Hancock and her bookstore café, where danger lurks behind the espresso machine and every cup of coffee could come with a clue.

This event will be an informal chat with the author, where you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at his writing process, inspiration, and what’s next for the series. Hot drinks will be served—perfect for sipping while enjoying cozy conversation and a good mystery.

If you need accommodations for a class or event, contact communications@pickeringtonlibrary.org or call 614-837-4104 ext. 221.
