Books & Tea with Lise Olsen

Houston Heights Woman's Club Presents: Books & Tea with Lise Olsen

Join us for Books & Tea, the Literary Group's annual event that brings together book lovers and a local author. This year, we welcome acclaimed local author and investigative journalist Lise Olsen! Lise will discuss her gripping true crime book, The Scientist and the Serial Killer, an unforgettable narrative of forensic science, missing persons, and unsolved crimes.

The Scientist and the Serial Killer tells the remarkable story of Dr. Sharon Derrick, a Texas forensic anthropologist who dedicated years to identifying the victims of the notorious 1970s Houston-area serial killer Dean Corll—known as the Lost Boys of Houston. Olsen’s work, published by Random House, has been praised as a “forensic thriller” and a “masterwork of crime writing,” shining a light on the heroes who bring justice and closure to families.

Don’t miss this opportunity to meet Lise Olsen, hear about her investigative journey, and enjoy an engaging discussion over tea and light refreshments.
