Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with reading thrillers and mysteries. So when I got an email from a former coach of mine about the latest installment in his mystery series, I couldn't wait to write about it.
"Springbrookville" by Albert Waitt comes out this month, and it takes place in a town very similar to Kennebunkport. In fact, any local will recognize fictional locations identical to beloved places like the Pilot House and Alisson's Restaurant. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to grab a cup of coffee from Mornings in Paris, head to the beach, and dive into the story!
In this week's newsletter: Read about "Springbrookville," new scientific technology at Kennebunk High School, and Kennebunk Free Library's new status.
As always, feel free to email me with story ideas and photos!
Thanks for reading, - Sydney Richelieu |
