Join us to meet bestselling author Mary Kubica at MCC!
A coalition of McHenry County public libraries are pleased to host Mary Kubica on Monday, October 27th at 7 p.m. at McHenry County College's Luecht Auditorium. Copies of her books will be available for purchase and signing at the event courtesy of Read Between the Lynes bookstore of Woodstock. Registration is required for this free author event.
Mary Kubica is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of many suspense novels, including THE GOOD GIRL, PRETTY BABY, DON’T YOU CRY, EVERY LAST LIE, WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT, THE OTHER MRS., LOCAL WOMAN MISSING and JUST THE NICEST COUPLE. Her latest thriller, SHE'S NOT SORRY was published in 2024 and received the following praise:
“The best-selling Kubica’s (Local Woman Missing) latest thriller is her best one yet, with multiple twists and unreliable characters that will hold readers until the nail-biting end… Kubica is a mastermind of fast-paced stories and complex characters that readers can immediately invest in and relate to.”
~ Library Journal, Starred Review
“Twisty, addictive, and bingeable… This suspense-thriller will fully engage readers and leave them guessing until the very end.”
~ Booklist, Starred Review
A former high school history teacher, Mary holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, in History and American Literature.

They’ve been translated into over thirty languages and have sold over five million copies worldwide. She’s been described as “a helluva storyteller,” (Kirkus Reviews) and “a writer of vice-like control,” (Chicago Tribune), and her novels have been praised as “hypnotic” (People) and “thrilling and illuminating” (Los Angeles Times). She is currently working on her next novel.
