Want to be an armchair sleuth? Join fellow mystery lovers to read books from across the genre. Copies of each selection are available at the Circulation Desk approximately one month before the meeting. The Mystery Book Club meets the last Thursday of every month at 3:00 P.M. We welcome all new members! Subscribe to the "Mystery Book Club" e-newsletter to receive book club reminders, updates, and meeting invitations. This month’s selection is: A Double Life by Flynn Berry "Nearly thirty years ago, while Claire and her brother slept upstairs, a brutal crime was committed in their grand London home. The next morning, her father's car was found abandoned, with bloodstains on the front seat. The first lord accused of murder in more than a century, he has been missing ever since. Now a doctor living under an assumed name, Claire learns the police may have found him, and her carefully calibrated existence begins to fracture. She starts to infiltrate his privileged inner circle, who have never broken their silence about what happened that night. Soon, Claire will learn how far she'll go to finally find the truth." https://amesfreelibrary.assabetinteractive.com/calendar/mystery-book-club-15/
