Author Leah Konen will discuss her new thriller, The Last Room on the Left, in this installment of "Author Hour in Massachusetts." Register here. About Leah: Leah Konen is the author of Keep Your Friends Close, You Should Have Told Me, The Perfect Escape, All the Broken People, and several young adult novels, including Love and Other Train Wrecks, and The Romantics. Her books have been featured in Vogue, Rolling Stone, Marie Claire, Reader’s Digest and The New York Post, among others. She lives in Brooklyn and Saugerties, New York, with her husband; their daughters, Eleanor and Mary Joyce; and their dog, Farley. About The Last Room on the Left: The caretaker at an isolated mountain hotel finds herself fighting for her life—and sanity—in this twisty, addictive thriller. Kerry’s life is in shambles: Her husband has left her, her drinking habit has officially become a problem, and though the deadline for her big book deal—the one that was supposed to change everything—is looming, she can’t write a word. When she sees an ad for a caretaker position at a revitalized roadside motel in the Catskills, she jumps at the chance. It's the perfect getaway to finish her book and start fresh. But as she hunkers down in a blizzard, she spots something through the window: a pale arm peeking out from a heap of snow. Trapped in the mountains and alone with a dead, frozen body, Kerry must keep her head and make it out before the killer comes for her too. But is the deadly game of cat-and-mouse all in her mind? The body count begs to differ . . . This superbly crafted novel of suspense -- that will thrill and delight fans of Lucy Foley, Alice Feeney, and Sarah Pearse -- received a starred review from Library Journal. About Author Hour in Massachusetts: "Author Hour in Massachusetts" is a series of virtual author talks this winter featuring some of the publishing industry's top trending writers. These webinars -- held from 7pm (ET) to 8pm (ET), Monday through Friday -- are free and open to all. This series, which runs through March 20, 2025, is being promoted by more than 50 public libraries in Massachusetts.  This program is sponsored by the Tewksbury Public Library. https://haverhillpl.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/thriller-book-talk-with-author-leah-konen-virtual/
