Author Paula Munier, Home at Night: A Mercy Carr mystery
On Tuesday, Oct. 17, from 6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., Paula Munier returns to Gibson’s Bookstore on 45 South Main Street in Concord with the fifth Mercy Carr mystery, Home at Night, as once again our favorite former-military-police pair (one two-legged, one four-legged) stumble across a body, this time during what is supposed to be a relaxing staycation in Vermont at Halloween.

Digging Into Native History in New Hampshire
Abenaki history has been reduced to near-invisibility as a result of conquest, a conquering culture that placed little value on the Indian experience, and a strategy of self-preservation that required many Abenaki to go “underground,” concealing their true identities for generations to avoid discrimination and persecution. On Thursday, Oct. 12, at 2:30 p.m., at Tad’s Place at Heritage Heights on 149 East Side Drive in Concord, Robert Goodby reveals archaeological evidence that shows their deep presence here, inches below the earth’s surface. For more information, contact Susan Edge at 603-229-1266.
