Murders & Mysteries Book Club to Meet in the Evening at the Effingham Public Library

The Effingham Public Library is pleased to announce that a new Murders & Mysteries Book Club will begin in March and will meet in the evening.  This is a perfect opportunity for those of you who not only enjoy reading a good mystery or work of true crime but also cannot make it to a daytime book group.

For the first meeting of the Murders & Mysteries Book Club, they will discuss the novel, All Good People Here by Ashley Flowers, who is also the host of a very popular true crime podcast, Crime Junkie.  When Margot was a little girl growing up in a small Indiana town, her next-door neighbor – a six year old girl – was murdered and the case was never solved.  Now an adult, Margot returns to her hometown to help an ailing relative.  While back, a five year old girl the next town over is murdered in much the same way as Margot’s neighbor all those years ago.  Now Margot vows to solve who murdered both of these little girls.

To find out what happens, come to the Library and get the book.  Then go to the book discussion group and talk about it.

Murders & Mysteries Book Club will meet on Wednesday, March 15 at 5:30 in the Library’s Workman Room, which is located in the basement.

The group will continue to meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 5:30 PM.  The Effingham Library will make copies of each month’s selection available to everyone who wants to participate.  According to Effingham Public Library’s Evening Program Coordinator, Alexandra Estes, “True crime and mysteries are so popular at our library and people love to talk about the latest book their reading.  Now they can come to the Library and talk to other likeminded readers.”
