The Bainbridge Public Library hosts Tea & Mystery with Aaron Elkins at 3 p.m. Friday, March 29.

Aaron Elkins is the creator of the modern forensic mystery, having pioneered the genre in 1982 with “Fellowship of Fear,” which introduced the Skeleton Detective, Gideon Oliver— and he’s still going strong in 2011, after sixteen books.
