SUMMARY:The Velvet Knife with Maureen Johnson
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted to welcome New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson back to Mr B’s for an event celebrating her brand new YA mystery\, The Velvet Knife! \nA standalone set in the world of the Truly\, Devious series\, The Velvet Knife follows teen sleuth Stevie Bell\, her best friends Nate and Janelle\, and her on-again-off-again boyfriend David as they travel to New York to solve a brand new mystery: a murder connected to a mysterious cult… \nAll tickets include 15% off any books purchased on the night\, a soft drink\, author talk\, Q&A and signing. \nAbout the book: \nStevie might be the greatest teenage detective Ellingham Academy and the world has ever seen\, buteven she cant figure out what happened with her boyfriend\, David. What she needs is a distraction: a good old-fashioned murder. Stevie is much happier dealing with dead people.

Caught in a web of messy alive-people feelings\, Stevie finds herself questioning all human connection. Is magnetism only manipulation? Can you trust anyone? Does anyone realize that they’re joining a cult—before its too late? And are things with David really over? \nAbout the author: \nMaureen Johnson is the bestselling author of several novels\, including the Truly\, Devious series\, 13 Little Blue Envelopes\, the Suite Scarlett series\, and the Shades of London series. She has also written collaborative works such as Let It Snow with John Green and Lauren Myracle and the Bane Chronicles with Cassandra Clare and Sarah Rees Brennan. Maureen lives in New York.
