And plan on grabbing a drink and a snack from the café when you come to the meeting!Shanza's Pod Pick: The Matchmaker by Aisha SaeedA society matchmaker realizes she’s in danger when her clients’ weddings are sabotaged in increasingly disturbing ways—an utterly original mystery from New York Times bestselling author Aisha Saeed.Business has never been better for Nura Khan, a third-generation matchmaker in Atlanta. Her exclusive clientele benefits from her impeccable track record. And while a single thirty-one-year-old matchmaker would normally raise some perfectly threaded eyebrows in the community, Nura’s childhood best friend Azar is willing to double as her pretend fiancé at her clients’ weddings—as long as Nura is able to hide that her feelings for him might not be so pretend.But all that glitters isn’t gold. While it’s not uncommon to get the occasional hate mail from rejected prospective clients, Nura is blindsided after a couple’s carefully constructed wedding implodes, the first in a cascading chain of suspicious and increasingly terrifying events. Someone is taking things too far, and with Azar and her matchmaking team by her side, Nura embarks on a dangerous cat-and-mouse game that threatens not only her safety but everything she’s worked so hard to build. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/9c529880-fc4f-11f0-875c-5f5594b18118-rimg-w1200-h628-dcc4cfff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pittsburgh/pod-picks-book-club-shanzas-pick-the-matchmaker-by-aisha-saeed/100001981796712315 - **Event Categories**: meetups, art, literary-art, speed-dating - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pittsburgh - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: White Whale Bookstore - **lat**: 40.461023 - **long**: -79.9482606 - **full address**: White Whale Bookstore, 4754 Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Pod Picks Book Club!
