KENNEBUNK — A local resident will sign copies of his new book and greet the public during an afternoon reception at Antiques on Nine in Kennebunk.
Bob Marier grew up, was educated and spent his professional life in the Kennebunks. Now he has tapped his local knowledge to write a murder-mystery set in the coastal Maine village of “Somers Beach.” Could that be Kennebunk Beach?
Marier will appear at Antiques on Nine, 81 Western Ave. in Kennebunk from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. Oct. 6 and sign books during the event. Wine and cheese will be served.
His book TIDAL POOLS begins with the body of a cantankerous lobsterman washing up on a small island, sparking an arrest, two trials and unexpected plot twists. The character of Maine people is at stake during the struggle of a black man desperately trying to prove his innocence with the aid and skill of a newly-graduated lawyer.
The book is offered at Antiques on Nine, Mail It Unlimited, Mainely Murders Bookstore,and HB Provisions in Kennebunk; Colonial Pharmacy and Fine Print Booksellers in Kennebunkport; and at Farm + Table in Cape Porpoise.
It is also available from Amazon as a print or ebook.
