Coffee
and Crime mystery book club
Seymour Library's mystery book club
looks at a different theme each month. Anyone with an interest in
mysteries is invited to join. Participants are asked to read at
one of five suggested titles that represent the theme.
7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 8; also noon
Tuesday, Sept. 9: Police procedurals: books that feature a detective
who is a member of a police department and must work within the rules
and procedures of the department. Read one of these books: Cop
Hater by Ed McBain, A Judgment in Stone by Ruth Rendell,
The Old Wine Shades by Martha Grimes, A Certain Justice by
P.D. James and 7th Inning Stretch by Elizabeth Gunn.
7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 6; also noon
Tuesday, Oct. 7: Psychological suspense: mysteries that focus on the
intricacies of the crime and what motivated the perpetrator to commit
them. Darkly atmospheric stories, disturbing mind games, engrossing and
compelling characters - these are stories that generate a sense of
unease. Authors to look for include Ruth Rendell, Carol O'Connell and
Mary Higgins Clark. Read one of these books before the meeting:
Shutter Island by Dennis Lehane, Absent Friends by S.J. Rozan,
The Alienist by Caleb Carr, Boy in the Water by
Stephen Dobyns.
