Room: Conference Room
Age Group: Adult
Program Type: Book Club
Event Details:

If you enjoy murder mysteries like Murder She Wrote or Miss Marple, cozies are a great choice for you! These mysteries tend to feature an amateur sleuth, the murders happen behind the scenes, and so do any steamy scenes. We read either a stand alone title, or the first in a series, so you can explore more on your own. This Book Club has been offered at HPL for over 10 years, and we welcome you to join this fun-loving, mystery-solving group! We meet the third Wednesday of the month at 6:30pm.


 

This month's book is Murder on Mustang Beach by Alicia Bessette.  Digital versions are available on Libby.
