What We're Reading Now: Cathy




The Broken Teaglass by Emily Arsenault




This is a different sort of mystery. Billy Webb has landed his first post-college job at the Samuelson Company which creates the American dictionary (think Webster's) where he helps to create and update definitions of words for the next edition. While he is looking through the company's files, he finds a strange citation which is from a book called The Broken Teaglass by Dolores Beekmin. One of the odd things about it is that it seems to take place at the Samuelson Company. With the help of fellow editor Mona Minot, he digs further and finds more of these mystery citations.Is the story that is thus revealed imaginary or was someone really murdered? Maybe working on a dictionary isn't as dull or safe as people imagine.
