Introduction
It was a dark and stormy night (really); dangerous flooding means no one can leave the Gadsby’s Tavern Museum’s ‘Murder in the Museum’ fundraiser. When an egotistical local prosecutor stumbles across a real murder, he races the clock to find the killer before the flood waters recede.
"Gadsby's Corner is a joy to read. John Wasowicz has a confident style that comes from being an author clearly having fun writing: we are left to wonder to what extent the book is homage to Agatha Christie or a mischievous questioning of her brand of murder mystery novels. I enjoyed the pop-culture references which help ground us, as well as the intellectual asides. Even the island of Mauritius makes an appearance!" — Vinod Busjeet, author of Silent Winds, Dry Seas
"Wasowicz cleverly immerses readers into the action, as if his character, Assistant Commonwealth Attorney David Reese, were Sheldon Cooper giving us ‘fun facts’ while intimately guiding us through a locked-room, real-life game of Clue.”— K.L. Romo, writer & book reviewer
Editorial Review
No Editorial Review Currently AvailableDiscussion Questions
1. Is David Reese — the prosecutor who initiates the inquiry into the murder — an “honest broker” or is he manipulative and conniving character? Is his inquiry conducted with integrity or does he twist facts to suit his own purposes?2. Does the introduction of the supernatural spirit at Gadsby’s Tavern Museum enliven the story or did the ghost detract from an otherwise believable tale?
3. The fictional accounting includes the script of an actual ‘Murder in the Museum’ skit planned for Gadsby’s Tavern Museum. Did inclusion of the skit add an interesting dimension to the story or was it a distraction to the overall trajectory of the storyline?
