- **Event Name**: C J Williams Author Event:  A Monster in Mount Pleasant
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 29 Mar, 2026 at 02:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Judge C.J. Williams will be at the library to discuss his book, "A Monster in Mount Pleasant: A Story of Murders and Justice" on Sunday, March 29 at 2:00pm. 

In the quiet town of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, the idyllic calm of 1978 was shattered by a series of brutal murders. Karol Beavers, a vivacious high school junior, and her mother, Clementine, became the unsuspecting victims of a heinous act of violence that left the community reeling. For six months, the case went cold, fear gripping a town unaccustomed to locking its doors. Then, another shocking murder occurred, tying the threads of horror together.

A Monster in Mount Pleasant delves into the unraveling of this dark chapter. Drawing from years of meticulous research, the story reveals not just the pursuit of justice, but the profound emotional scars left behind. From the shattered dreams of a bright young girl to the lifelong grief of families torn apart, this book captures the deep humanity behind the headlines.

This compelling narrative is told through the eyes of a classmate of Karol—and the murderer. Now a federal judge, the author unearthed the societal cracks that shaped both the victims and the perpetrator. It’s a haunting journey into a community forever changed by tragedy, where resilience and the quest for truth stand as testaments to those lost too soon.

Beaverdale Books will have books for sale after the presentation.
