An Evening with Amy Meyerson: The Water Lies
An Evening with Amy Meyerson: The Water Lies
January 6, 2026 @ 6pm
Step into the haunting canals of Venice Beach with internationally bestselling author Amy Meyerson, as she joins us for an intimate evening of suspense, storytelling, and connection at the Chicago Literary Salon—in conversation with acclaimed author Christi Clancy.
In her gripping new novel, The Water Lies, Meyerson unravels a chilling mystery through the dual perspectives of two mothers—one grieving her adult daughter, the other raising a child who may have witnessed her death. What begins as a toddler’s outburst in a coffee shop unspools into a harrowing investigation, a story of maternal instinct, buried secrets, and the quiet menace lurking behind idyllic facades.
As Tessa and Barb forge an unlikely bond in their pursuit of the truth, The Water Lies invites readers to question what we’re willing to see—and what we choose to ignore.
Your evening includes:
A signed hardcover copy of The Water Lies
A thoughtfully curated menu by Nic + Juniors, featuring:
A welcome cocktail
Heavy hors d'oeuvres
A riveting conversation with Amy Meyerson exploring memory, motherhood, and the secrets that surface when we trust our intuition
Printed conversation prompts designed to foster meaningful dialogue—no prior reading required
Whether you're drawn to tightly plotted thrillers, layered emotional storytelling, or simply crave a beautifully executed evening out, this salon promises to leave you questioning what lies beneath the surface.
Seating is extremely limited. Reserve your seat today.
