She is the author of seven historical novels, including the celebrated Vera and Tolliver mysteries set in British East Africa beginning in 1911. The series—featuring Strange Gods, The Idol of Mombasa, The Blasphemers, and A Death on the Lord’s Day—captures both the breathtaking beauty and harsh realities of colonial Africa. As Booklist noted, “Alfieri illuminates the complexities and cruelties of colonial rule while giving readers an engrossing romance and mystery.” The Richmond Times praised her work for combining “the flair of Isak Dinesen and Beryl Markham, the cunning of Agatha Christie and Elspeth Huxley, and the moral sensibility of our times.”Her earlier South American mysteries also earned widespread acclaim, with Blood Tango named a must-read thriller by The Christian Science Monitor and City of Silver hailed by The Washington Post.Alfieri will discuss how historical novelists bring the past vividly to life while crafting compelling, page-turning mysteries.Co-Sponsored by the Putnam Valley Library.
