Description: In their sixteenth collaborative “Let’s Discuss It!, the Upper Dublin and Wissahickon Valley Public Libraries are thrilled to welcome Rupert Holmes, Tony award-winning composer & playwright, Edgar Award winning author & #1 multi-platinum songwriter for a moderated conversation with musical highlights and a discussion of his latest NYT bestselling mystery MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER. A Q&A and book signing will follow. The event will take place at the Ambler Theater, 108 E Butler Ave, Ambler, PA 19002.

Holmes’ third mystery, the first installment of The McMasters Guide to Homicide series: MURDER YOUR EMPLOYER, is a delightful mix of witty wordplay, breathtaking twists, and genuine intrigue.

“Holmes is a gifted wordsmith whose latest is a top-notch read that both entertains and amuses…with excellent pacing replete with droll observations.” -*starred* Library Journal.”

“[A] cheeky 1950s-set crime novel… farcical plotting, idiosyncratic characters, and witty, stylish prose combine for a fun, frothy read. Fans of humorous historical fiction will be well entertained.” – Publishers Weekly

Rupert Holmes has received two Edgar Awards from the Mystery Writers of America, and multiple Tony® and Drama Desk Awards for his Broadway mystery musicals, including the book of Curtains and his sole creation, the Tony® Award–winning Best Musical The Mystery of Edwin Drood.
