Dark, Dangerous, Deadly.

West Chester resident and NYTimes Bestselling author Bryan Reardon has just released another twisted tale. Let Her Lie tells an instantly captivating story that follows discouraged filmmaker Theo Snyder as he investigates the capture of a notorious serial killer. Described as weaving a wicked, Hitchcockian web, this psychological thriller keeps you on the edge of your seat. Head to your local, independent bookstore and grab a great winter read.

Essential Shoes.

Chefs, nurses and other essential workers clocking 80-hour work weeks on their feet turn to Dansko as their preferred footwear for comfort and support. Based in West Grove, Dansko has turned functional shoes styled after Danish clogs for the past 30 years. Now proudly employee-owned, Dansko also offers a bit of style with floral and leopard patterns for some flair on your feet. And so much cooler than Crocs and Birkenstocks, other popular choices of longstanding workers. Dansko.com.

Museum Mini-Merger.

The Delaware Museum of Natural History’s renovations don’t mean you have to miss out on its events and camp programs this year. Thanks to a partnership with nearby Winterhur Museum, Garden & Library, many community events will be held at the neighboring museum until the 2022 reopening. Learn about exotic birds up close at Morning with the Birds on March 27 and bring the kids to Spring Break Science Extravaganzas starting March 29. Support both museums at DelMNH.org.
