Mystery Book Group
Copies of the book will be on reserve the month before. Put on your detective cap and solve the mysteries that will be set up! We meet the second Tuesday of each month at 10:30 a.m. to discuss whatever you have read and focus on a new or little known author of mysteries and suspense - AND solve a mystery, if you can detect all the clues. Can you?
This is an informal, fun group and all are welcome. Light refreshments will be served.
