January & February 2025
We just discussed Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone on January 27th. The book discussion guide is available here. It had a mixed reception--several members liked it and others thought there were too many characters and too much going on. Overall, the feeling that the book was a literary exercise kept it lighter even though there were a lot of murders. One group member suggested that it was similar to the book, Killers of a Certain Age, which we read in July 2024.
Our February book club meets on February 24 at 3:30 at the Library and we discuss The Maid by Nina Prose. Copies of the book are available for pickup at the front desk and the discussion sheets are available at the desk or here. All adults are welcome to attend!Summary: "Molly Dunn is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and interprets people literally. Since her Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has had to navigate life's complexities all by herself. No matter--she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. But Molly's orderly life is turned on its head the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself very dead in his bed. Before she knows what's happening, Molly's odd demeanor has the police targeting her as their lead suspect and she finds herself in a web of subtext and nuance she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, a medley of friends she didn't realize she had refuses to let her be charged with murder--but will they be able to discover the real killer before it's too late?"
