Award-winning mystery authors Hallie Ephron and Hank Phillippi Ryan talk about writing ‘page turners.’ Hallie Ephron lives in East Milton and her “suburban noir,” critically acclaimed mystery novel NEVER TELL A LIE is set here, though she calls it Brush Hills. Our own 7NEWS hard-hitting investigative reporter Hank Phillippi Ryan writes mystery novels (PRIME TIME (Agatha winner), FACE TIME, and AIR TIME) that feature top notch Boston TV investigative news reporter Charlie McNally who bears more than a passing resemblance to Hank herself. Come to the Milton Library and hear these award winning authors talk about how they mix fact and fiction to craft their novels.

We cannot halt the change in seasons and so, sadly, it the last chance to pick up fresh organic fruits and vegetables from a variety of farms including Milton’s own Brookwood Farm. There are breads from Iggy’s and cheeses from Esprit de Vin another local Milton merchant.

NOTE: The farmer’s market will likely close earlier than usual at 5:00pm instead of 6:00pm, due to darkness.

The Milton Farmer’s Market is held on Wharf Street, off Adams Street, in Milton Village.

They will be out rain or shine.
