There are hangovers; there are raging hangovers; and then there are the type of hangovers they center movies and books around. New thriller Last Night Was Killer is about one of those, with protagonist Tilly Turner waking up to a dead body in the trunk and no idea how he got there. Local author Mary Pauline Lowry has penned a fun and fascinating tale about a newly single mom just trying to let loose after pole dancing class, and brings the book to her own neighborhood book shop to celebrate with a talk hosted by journalist and podcast host Maurice Chammah. Be there to pick up the summer’s hottest read – we have to find out how Tilly gets herself out of this one! – Kat McNevins
