'Whitewater Murder': A Book Launch Adventure With NYT Bestselling Author Nina Simon and Special Guest, Whitewater Rafter Bridget Crocker

“Everyone is a mystery, but some mysteries are more dangerous than others.” — Dean Koontz

Join Adventures by the Book® at The Library Shop San Diego as we celebrate the launch day of New York Times bestselling author Nina Simon’s highly anticipated new mystery, "My Sister Is Going to Kill Me."

What begins as a sisters’ annual rafting adventure through the Grand Canyon quickly turns into a deadly journey when murder strikes deep within one of the world’s most breathtaking and unforgiving landscapes. Trapped on the river with a group of strangers, surrounded by towering canyon walls and nowhere to escape, Liv and Mandy Chisholm must navigate secrets, suspicion, and sibling tensions before the killer strikes again.

In celebration of the novel’s launch, Nina will be joined by special guest Bridget Crocker, acclaimed author of "The River’s Daughter" and an internationally renowned whitewater rafting guide whose real-life experiences on some of the world’s most legendary rivers offer a fascinating glimpse into the adventure, unpredictability, and human dynamics that make the setting of Nina’s novel so compelling.

Together, they’ll explore the inspiration behind the story, the unique challenges of crafting suspense in an isolated wilderness setting, the relationships that lie at the heart of the novel, and the real-world experiences that bring the river vividly to life.

Part book launch, part literary conversation, and part armchair expedition, this special evening invites readers to journey into a world where every rapid hides danger, every traveler harbors secrets, and survival depends on knowing whom to trust.
