Mystery and suspense readers are invited to the library on the first Thursday of the month at 6:30 for a lively discussion of the book and other of life's mysteries. This month's title, The Bootlegger's Daughter, by Margaret Maron is the first in the Deborah Knott mystery series which won all four major mystery awards: the Agatha, Anthony, Edgar and Macavity. From Kirkus: "A keen view of families, southern-discomfort style, with an edge and a wryness that surpass anything Edgar-winner Julie Smith ever dreamed up. Deb, her wily old dad, Detective Dwight are all nicely rendered, and the homosexuals here are, praise be, used well rather than exploited. A fine start to a promising new series."
