In Memory of Aime'e Thurlo

Author Aimée Thurlo passed away on February 28, 2014. She and her husband David Thurlo have written dozens of books, including the popular mystery series featuring Ella Clah. They've also written two other mystery series plus romantic suspense novels for Harlequin.

See her obituary here.

See all of their books on Fantastic Fiction. The library owns some of the Ella Clah and Sister Agatha series. If you want one that we do not own, we will be happy to request it for you.

Update coming soon!

I promise this blog will be updated very soon! I have not forgotten about it!

Also up and coming is a new genealogy blog that will focus on new genealogy books the library receives, as well as anything of genealogical or local historical interest...the blog may be viewed here: McComb Library Genealogy
