Katie’s parents never told her “no” when she asked for a book. That was the beginning of most of her problems. She has MLIS at the University of Illinois and works full-time as Distribution & Reference Manager for Illinois. She has love deeply rooted in everything that is in the way, twisted, and horrifying, and has great joy in sneaking up on her colleagues. When she’s not at work, she’s in the house watching Cubs along with her cat and her cardigan collection. Other hobbies include scrapbooking, introducing more readers to the Tana French church, and convince her husband that she can actually fit more books on the shelves. Masu. Twitter: @kt_librarylady

In the book, Mike Hanlon’s character delves deep into some of these events in Delhi’s history. Muschietti said Welcome to Delhi It is drawn from each of these step-by-step chapters.
