The staff at the MacKay Library hosts a variety of book discussion groups. The Mystery Group has been meeting for 13 years. Novel Conversations evolved out of the Oprah Book Group that began in 1998.

Mystery Group
Mystery Group meets on the 4th Wednesday of the month at 6:45 PM May 22, 2013 Dorothy Sayers and Marcia Muller June 26, 2013 Brendan Dubois and Margery Allingham	The Mystery Group picks two authors a month. Members read books by those authors and come prepared to discuss why they enjoyed these books (or why they did not like them.) Were earlier books better crafted than more recent ones? Have characters developed over the years? Do you get a true sense of the place where the story is set? What good Mystery books have people read recently? The MacKay Library will have a variety of the featured authors' books available for loan in the month preceding each discussion.
