Investigating the Murdaugh Mystique: A Talk with Valerie Bauerlein In-Person

Join us for a compelling Author Chat with Wall Street Journal national reporter Valerie Bauerlein, author of The Devil at His Elbow. Bauerlein has spent her career covering the South, with a focus on small-town America, politics, and culture. Her latest book delves deep into the rise and fall of Alex Murdaugh, unraveling the dark legacy behind one of the most shocking true crime cases in recent memory.

A graduate of Duke University and longtime Raleigh resident, Bauerlein brings sharp insight and fearless reporting to this unforgettable story of power, privilege, and betrayal in South Carolina’s Lowcountry.

This event is presented in partnership with Quail Ridge Books. Complimentary copies of the book will be available for students, along with pastries and Oak City Coffee Roasters.
