One Book Bradford
Three Pines Mystery Tea Set for Sunday

By SANDRA RHODES

There’s one event for mystery lovers that will suit them to a “tea”.

The Three Pine Mystery Tea will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 10, at the First Presbyterian Church on East Corydon Street.

The tea is the latest installment of the One Book Bradford season.

Enticing murder mystery conversation will be served along with an array of sweet and savory refreshments.


Tickets are $10 a piece and will be available for purchase in advance at Grandma’s House Teas & Gifts on Congress Street.

“Still Life” by Louise Penny of Quebec, Canada, was chosen for this year’s One Book Bradford season. In its fourth year, One Book Bradford is a community-wide reading initiative in which a book is picked and the community is encouraged to read it. Several activities are held throughout the season, including a visit from the author.

As with each One Book Bradford season, the culminating event will be a visit by Penny at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, May 3, in the Mukaiyama University Room at the
University of Pittsburgh at Bradford.

Penny will give a talk – “Three Pines” and Beyond” - and will be available for a book signing. Refreshments will follow. Admission to the author visit is free.

“Still Life” is the first book in Penny’s Three Pines Trilogy.

This year, the committee also wanted to challenge the readers and encourage them to read each book in the Three Pines Trilogy, which include “A Fatal Grace” and "The Cruelest Month.”

Penny is an award-winning author, who recently won the Anthony Award for Best Crime Novel for “The Brutal Telling.” The Anthony Awards honor the best in mystery writing. The book also won the Agatha Award for Best Crime Novel. This is the third year in a row Penny won, the first time an author has won three years in a row.

The American Library Association named “Bury Your Dead” the Best Mystery of 2010.
