The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett

Our next book club pick won the Hugo Award and the World Fantasy award! The Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennett tells the story of a Holmes and Watson type duo, Ana and Din, as they investigate the suspicious death of a high imperial officer following a tree erupting from his body. Ana’s rather unconventional ways combined with the magical augments of Din are in a race against time to uncover a threat to the entire empire! This novel has themes of power and corruption as a murder mystery unfolds in a high fantasy world. Can’t wait to see you there!

Note from the organizer: I don’t want to pay $30 a month for MeetUp+ which means the events only allow registration of 10 people. However, if you are waitlisted, please feel free to come anyway! We’d love to have you!
