Beth Caswell - SoCal SocieTea

      Mystery Maven Beth Caswell conducts tea talks and interviews on a variety of subjects ranging from tea etiquette to mystery literature and the history of hats. Beth first made a name for herself among mystery enthusiasts when she opened the wildly successful Sherlock’s Home, one of only three mystery bookshops in the world at the time. She went on to host internationally award-winning talk shows on both a CBS-affiliate radio station and on cable access television. She has also taught mystery appreciation classes where she lifts the veil on mysteries classic and current, as well as the authors who pen them.
      A published writer and mystery creator in her own right, she is heralded as ‘ambassador’ to the world of mystery. She may often be spotted donning her signature veiled hat at any number of mysterious haunts such as bookstores, libraries and charity events, serving as mistress of ceremonies, interviewing mystery scholars, or conducting author party chats and book signings with the hottest writers on the market.
