If you enjoy murder mysteries like Murder She Wrote or Miss Marple, cozies are a great choice for you!

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.
