Chester Playhouse presents…Speaker:  Dean Jobb online via Zoom at 7:00 pm.  In The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream: The Hunt for a Victorian Era Serial Killer, Dean Jobb provides the definitive account of both a Canadian trained physician who became a ruthless killer, murdering as many as ten people in three different countries and the Scotland Yard investigation that finally brought him to justice.  It’s a story of crime, detection, forensic science and madness that Publishers Weekly has praised as “true-crime masterpiece”, the New York Times has selected as a summer must-read, and author Louise Penny described as “both chilling and thrilling”.  Dean Jobb’s earlier book – The Empire of Deception, – reveals the swindling exploits of Leo Koretz, the Bernie Madoff of the 1920’s, and was named by the Wall Street Journal as one of the top five books on swindlers in 2020. Dean Jobb, a master storyteller and crime writer, will join Liz Crocker for a discussion about his books, the characters he has discovered, and the writing process.  There will be time for attendees to ask questions and all registered ticket holders will receive a 10% discount on The Case of the Murderous Dr. Cream at the Bookmark, and have their names entered in a draw for a signed copy of the book, to be drawn at the event.
