Billed as The World s Greatest Book Event, this year s BookExpo will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. In an attempt to showcase every facet of the book publishing business, the Expo has planned a busy few days. Author appearances include Elie Wiesel, Bill Murray, Frank McCourt, Jane Goodall and Julia Child. This annual convention is a celebration of books and writers belonging to a sub-genre described by Malice Domestic itself as mysteries of manners. By that, they mean mystery books devoid of sex and violence that feature, most often, an amateur detective.
