Cozy Mystery Book Club

Wednesday, December 18, 2024 at 6:30pm - 7:30pm

View Details

Library Branch: Hays Public Library

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, choose your own cozy mystery book and join us for a holiday party.
