Local Author Book Talk with Joan Cohen: 

Aging is Murder

Wednesday, October 14, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
Online via Zoom
Free and open to the public

Join us for a book talk, reading and Q&A with author and OLLI at BCC member, Joan Cohen!

When are you too old to perform a public service? Eighty-nine? Ninety? Four residents of Heyday Assisted Living think they're the ideal age to rid their country of hypocrites and liars. What do they have to lose? Why should mystery and murder be confined to a Clue game when, with a little resourcefulness, the skills of past careers can be revived to do so much good? Just don't mention the words "Fearsome Four" out loud!

Originally from Mount Vernon, New York, Joan Cohen received her BA from Cornell University and her MBA from New York University.

She pursued a career in sales, and executive management at computer hardware and software companies until she retired to return to school for an MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is the author of the novels Land of Last Chances, published in 2019, and The Deepfake, published in 2024. She has been a Massachusetts resident for many years, first living in Newton, where she raised her family, and later in Wayland. She now resides in Stockbridge, in the Berkshires, with her husband and latest canine addition.
