Mystery/Suspense Adult Book Club

Mystery/Suspense Adult Book Club In-Person

Join us at 10:00AM, Fri, May 16, to discuss Booked for Death by Victoria Gilbert, a cozy mystery. Nestled in the historic waterfront town of Beaufort, North Carolina, Chapters Bed-and-Breakfast is a reader's paradise. It's the perfect literary retreat--until a rare book dealer turns up dead in the carriage house during a celebration of Golden Age mystery author Josephine Tey.

The victim's daughter points the finger at forty-two-year-old widow and former schoolteacher Charlotte Reed, who inherited the B&B from her great-aunt Isabella. Charlotte is shocked to discover that the book dealer suspected her great-aunt of being a thief who founded Chapters on her ill-gotten gains. 

Armed with intelligence and courage and assisted by her vibrant older neighbor, a visiting author, and members of a local book club, Charlotte is determined to prove her innocence and to clear Isabella's name. But the murderer is still at large, and equally determined to silence anyone who might discover the truth behind the book dealer's death. Now, Charlotte must outwit an unknown killer--or end up writing her own final chapter.

Copies of the book will be available at the Cedar Hill Satellite (6780 Mall Dr, Cedar Hill). For adults 18 years and up.

Registration is required.
