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. |
| This daytime book group
usually meets on the first and third Friday of each month.
Because of the popularity of this group and space limitations at
MacKay we added a second group. Both groups meet at noon and both
groups will read and discuss the same titles. Please choose either
week 1 or week 3.
