(due to the Memorial Day holiday, we will meet Thursday, May 28 in the Community Room) 

7 pm - 8 pm   

Small Meeting Room 

Read books that challenge your curiosity and sleuthing abilities. And this time, we take a look at some books set in or written by authors from the international community. Prepare for intriguing discussions about how the author developed the character of the detective or sleuth; plot twists that did or didn’t work; and how themes of justice, truth, deception and morality figured into the story. Ages 18+.  

May – Bryant & May and the Burning Man: A Peculiar Crimes Unit Mystery by Christopher Fowler (Great Britain) 

In the week before Guy Fawkes Night, London’s peaceful streets break out in sudden unrest. Enraged by a scandal involving a corrupt financier accused of insider trading, demonstrators are rioting outside the Findersbury Private Bank, chanting, marching, and growing violent. But when someone hurls a Molotov cocktail at the bank’s front door, killing a homeless man on its steps, Bryant, May, and the rest of the Peculiar Crimes Unit is called in. Is this an act of protest gone terribly wrong? Or a devious, premeditated murder? Suspenseful, smart, and wickedly funny.
