Adult Mystery Book Club

Meets at 9:00 am on the fourth Wednesday of each month.  We think talking about books is the best way to start a morning! Find out what the next book is below.
Books are available in print, and when possible as an e-book and a digital audiobook. 
We also recommend some of our favorite breakfast options! Grab a tea or coffee with sweet cream from Black Cow Cafe
