Julie Hennrikus has a mystery series set in a New England small town. The main character runs a clock shop, so there is some information about the history of clocks and a bit of philosophizing about Time. Hennrikus is also active in the local theater scene (she teaches theater), and she talks about the state of the arts in the region. It is a fast-moving and fluid discussion. Hennrikus’ novels are cozy mysteries, containing little or no violence, obscenity, or sex.
