The Friends 2023 Speaker Series will consist of nine fabulous events. Events are free but pre-registration is required. Look for registration links for members on December 15, and for the general public on January 2. Join us today!

The Friends of the Key West Library’s second speaker event of 2023 features author Lisa Unger.

Lisa Unger is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of twenty novels, including her most recent, Secluded Cabin Sleeps Six, as well as Last Girl Ghosted, and Confessions on the 7:45 — now in development at Netflix, starring Jessica Alba. With books published in thirty-two languages and millions of copies sold worldwide, she is regarded as a master of suspense.

Unger’s critically acclaimed novels have been featured on “Best Book” lists from the Today Show, Good Morning America, Entertainment Weekly, People, Amazon, Goodreads, L.A. Times, The Boston Globe, Sun Sentinel, Tampa Bay Times and many others. She has been nominated for, or won, numerous awards including the Strand Critics, Audie, Hammett, Macavity, ITW Thriller, and Goodreads Choice. In 2019, she received two Edgar Award nominations, an honor held by only a few authors, including Agatha Christie. Her short fiction has been anthologized in The Best American Mystery and Suspense, and her non-fiction has appeared in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, NPR, and Travel+Leisure. Lisa is the current co-President of the International Thriller Writers organization. She lives on the west coast of Florida with her family.

This event will take place outdoors in our library’s lovely Palm Garden, the site of the Friends’ popular book sales. If the weather doesn’t cooperate, we’ll be inside in the library’s auditorium.
