Byrd's Books welcomes Alex Kenna for a discussion of Burn This Night (on zoom)

Join us via zoom for an author event with author Alex Kenna about her new book, Burn This Night: A Mystery. 

About this book: Told in alternating timelines, this gripping mystery about a PI and her quest for answers is full of twists and turns, perfect for fans of Allison Brennan and Gytha Lodge.

About the author: Alex Kenna is a mystery writer, prosecutor, and amateur painter. Her first novel, What Meets the Eye, was a 2023 Shamus Award Finalist for best first P.I. novel. Kirkus Reviews called it a “righteous, painful debut,” and Bookpage called her “a master in the making.”

Alex lives in Los Angeles with her husband, son, and giant schnauzer. Before law school, she studied art and art history, worked as a freelance culture writer for the Atlantic and other publications, and sold paintings in a gallery. When she’s not writing Alex can be found exploring Southern California, toddler-wrangling, and playing string instruments badly.

Reviews:

" Burn This Night is an utterly absorbing mystery. Alex Kenna skillfully weaves a tale of two women who both face emotional and physical danger as they fight for truth and family love. Kenna masterfully draws the reader into the dark exploration of the secrets hidden in small towns and the depths some will go to hide the truth. With fiendishly smart dialogue, a captivating setting, and a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, Burn This Night is absolutely fantastic!" --Elise Hart Kipness, author of Lights Out

"The twists keep coming in this devilish PI mystery . . . Lisa Unger fans will devour this." -- Publishers Weekly
